Summary

Richmond Consolidated is a small PK–8 school in Richmond, MA, serving 157 students in the Richmond district. For 2025–2026 it ranked 310th of 899 Massachusetts schools — the 66th percentile, or 3 stars — while the district placed 165th of 351 (53rd percentile, 3 stars). Its MCAS Next Generation results beat state averages in all three major subjects: 51.55% proficient in English language arts vs. 40.03% statewide, 47.47% in math vs. 41.11%, and 51.72% in science vs. 40.98%.

Compared with nearby schools, Richmond sits in the upper-middle tier. It trails Morris in Lenox in every subject, most notably math (47.47% vs. 56.17%). It is roughly even with Williams and Robert T. Capeless Elementary School in Pittsfield, both close in overall rank (70th and 65th percentile), though Richmond's science score (51.72%) is stronger than Williams' (50.00%) and far ahead of Capeless' (36.84%). Richmond clearly outperforms Lee Elementary and the lower-ranked schools in the Pittsfield district — Morningside Community School, Crosby, Silvio O Conte Community, and Stearns — in all major subjects. It is also resource-intensive: its 9.0 student-teacher ratio in 2024–2025 is lower than most nearby schools, and its 2020–21 per-student spending of $23,771 is higher than nearly every nearby regular elementary school.

School-wide averages hide a split profile. Grades 3 and 4 are strong — grade 3 ELA 64.29% vs. 42.79% state, grade 4 math 78.95% vs. 43.20% — as are grade 5 science (63.16%) and grade 7 ELA (62.50%). Weaker spots include grade 6 math (15.79% vs. 42.59% state) and grade 8 in ELA, math, science, and civics. Recent trends are mixed: ELA fell from 59.18% in 2024–2025, math rebounded from 41.24%, and science slipped from 56.67%. Because cohorts are tiny — Richmond has just 157 students — a few students can shift a grade-level rate substantially, and comparisons with PK–5 neighbors are not perfectly like-for-like. No free/reduced-price lunch data was available, so economic composition could not be analyzed here.

Some good, some bad. Too much turnover. Four fourth grade teachers in 4 years. Leadership changes and staff flux. Close Quote
