Summary:
The Richmond Middle School is the sole middle school serving grades 6-8 in the Richmond R-XVI school district in Missouri. With a total enrollment of 331 students, the school has faced declining performance in recent years, ranking in the bottom half of middle schools statewide.
Richmond Middle School's academic proficiency rates are consistently lower than the state averages in mathematics, science, and English language arts. In the 2024-2025 school year, proficiency rates ranged from 28.8% to 52.3% in math, 20.1% in science, and 34.5% to 41.6% in English language arts. Additionally, the school has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 23.2%, significantly above the state average. These factors, combined with the school's relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (43.81%), suggest that Richmond Middle School may be facing challenges in providing effective academic support and resources for its students.
Despite a student-teacher ratio of 13:1, which is lower than the state average, Richmond Middle School's performance has declined over the past three school years, dropping from a 2-star rating and 238th place ranking in 2024-2025 to a 1-star rating and 361st place ranking in 2022-2023. This trend indicates that the school may require targeted interventions and support to improve student outcomes and better serve the needs of the community.
