Summary:
ZIP code 45157 is home to four schools serving students from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade: two elementary schools, one middle school, and one high school, with a combined enrollment of 1,607 students. Three of them — New Richmond High School, Monroe Elementary School, and New Richmond Middle School — belong to the New Richmond Exempted Village district. The fourth, New Richmond Preparatory Academy, is a small K–6 school in its own district, New Richmond Preparatory Academy.
Monroe Elementary School is the academic standout, ranking in the 60th percentile with 3 stars and beating the state in 5th grade science (77.4% vs 62.7%), 5th grade ELA (83.3% vs 70.4%), and 4th grade math (80% vs 67.3%). Its weak spot is 3rd grade math, at 52.1% versus the state's 62.1%, down from 75% the year before. New Richmond High School graduates 97.4% of students but has the ZIP's highest chronic absenteeism among district schools at 25.0%; it is strong in Geometry (55.5% vs 43.3%) and Biology (76.7% vs 67%), but below state in Algebra I (56.5% vs 61.6%) and American Government (68% vs 71.6%).

New Richmond Preparatory Academy has only 43 students and the smallest classes in the ZIP, with a student-teacher ratio of 8.6 and 3 stars.
