Richmond Preparatory Charter School

Richmond Preparatory Charter School is the sole middle school in this data set, serving grades 6-9 in Staten Island, New York. The school has faced challenges in recent years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 867 out of 1500 New York middle schools in 2022-2023 to 1108 out of 1500 in 2024-2025, earning a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Academically, Richmond Preparatory Charter School underperforms compared to the New York state average, with proficiency rates ranging from 25% to 55% across different grade levels and subject areas on state assessments. The school serves a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with 68.18% of its population eligible for free or reduced-price lunch in 2023-2024. Despite this, the school's per-student spending of $23,202 is higher than the state average, raising questions about the efficient allocation of resources.

On a positive note, the school maintains a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 7.5, which could provide more individualized attention for students. However, the data does not indicate whether this low ratio is effectively utilized to enhance the learning experience. Overall, Richmond Preparatory Charter School faces challenges in improving academic outcomes for its students, and the school's leadership may need to re-evaluate its strategies and resource allocation to better support the needs of its population.
