Summary:
ZIP code 01254 covers Richmond, Massachusetts, and contains just one public school in this data set: Richmond Consolidated. It is classified as an elementary school but serves grades PK through 8, so it functions as a PK–8 building with 157 students. Because it is the only school in the Richmond district, district-level results are identical to school-level results, and there are no local peer schools to compare against. The district ranks 165th of 351 districts, at the 53rd percentile with 3 stars.
Richmond Consolidated performs above the Massachusetts state average in all-grade proficiency in ELA, Mathematics, and Science in both 2025–2026 and 2024–2025, though Mathematics was only slightly above state in 2024–2025. All-grade Mathematics improved from 41.24 to 47.47, widening its advantage over state from +0.50 to +6.36 points, while ELA and Science declined year over year but remained well above state. Grade-level bright spots in 2025–2026 include 4th Grade ELA at 73.68% vs. state 37.43%, 4th Grade Mathematics at 78.95% vs. 43.20%, 3rd Grade Mathematics at 66.67% vs. 42.19%, and 5th Grade Science at 63.16% vs. 43.07%. The school has held steady at 3 stars and the 65th–67th percentile of Massachusetts schools for three years.
The clearest concerns are 6th Grade Mathematics at 15.79% vs. state 42.59%, and 8th Grade, which trails state in ELA, Mathematics, Science, and Civics (30.00% vs. 39.77% in 2025–2026 and 30.77% vs. 39.16% in 2024–2025). With only 157 students, grade-level percentages can swing sharply from one small cohort to the next, so single-year results should be read with caution. The 9:1 student-teacher ratio is favorable, but per-pupil spending of $23,771 comes from 2020–2021 and is historical context only; free/reduced-lunch data is not reported here, so socioeconomic context cannot be assessed.
