Summary:
The area summary for New Richmond, Ohio lists just one school: New Richmond Preparatory Academy, an elementary school serving grades K–6 with an enrollment of 43 students. There are no middle, high, or alternative schools here, and it belongs to the New Richmond Preparatory Academy district. Because it is the only school in this area, there is no peer school to compare it against — its own numbers tell the whole story. Free and reduced lunch data is not reported, so the school's socioeconomic context is unknown.
Academically, results are mixed and vary sharply by grade. Sixth graders performed above the state average in both tested subjects: 60% proficient in math versus 56.2% statewide, and 80% proficient in English Language Arts versus 56% statewide — a 24 percentage point advantage. Third grade ELA is the weak spot, at 50% proficient against a state average of 63.4%, which is 13.4 points below. Test results are available only for 3rd grade ELA and 6th grade math and ELA, so other grades and subjects are not represented. With just 43 students across K–6, tested grades likely contain very few students, and one student can shift a proficiency rate by many points, so these figures should be monitored over multiple years.
Other metrics round out the picture. The school's district rank is 382 out of 773 — the 51st percentile with 3 stars — and its 2025–2026 rank history is 731 out of 1,560, the 53rd percentile with 3 stars, placing it near the middle of the state distribution. Chronic absenteeism stands at 39.6% in 2025–2026, meaning nearly four in ten students were chronically absent; that is a serious concern that can hold back achievement. On the favorable side, the student-teacher ratio is 8.6 in 2024–2025, a relatively low figure that can support individualized instruction, targeted tutoring, and closer tracking of students who are absent or struggling.
