Summary

Richmond Middle School in Richmond, MI, serves 570 students in grades 4 through 8 and is part of the Richmond Community Schools district, which has earned a 4-star rating statewide.

Richmond Middle School has shown a remarkable upward trajectory, climbing from the 48th percentile in 2020-2021 to the 74th percentile in 2025-2026—four consecutive years of improvement. The school's most impressive strength is its effectiveness with students from low-income backgrounds; this subgroup now ranks in the 76th percentile statewide, a dramatic jump from the 50th percentile just two years prior, despite 28.6% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch. The school also shines in upper grades: 8th graders outperform state averages in Science (50.9% vs. 39.2% proficient), Social Studies (57.9% vs. 50.3%), and English Language Arts on the PSAT (69.3% vs. 64.8%). In 6th and 7th-grade ELA, Richmond outperforms nearby Seneca Middle School, Iroquois Middle School, and St Clair Middle School.

However, there are clear areas needing attention. A persistent gender gap exists—female students rank in the 79th percentile while males rank in the 62nd percentile. More concerning is 5th-grade math, where only 23.6% of students are proficient versus the 32.2% state average—a deficit that has persisted for two years. Additionally, 8th-grade PSAT math proficiency (24.6%) lags far behind top regional schools like Romeo Middle School (49.9%) and Anchor Bay Middle School North (54.3%). Chronic absenteeism (18.9%) is better than the state average (27.9%) but higher than Anchor Bay North's 14.2%. Notably, Richmond achieves its results efficiently, spending $13,653 per student—less than several peers—while delivering above-average outcomes.
