Summary

Richmond Elementary School is a PK–5 school serving 530 students in Portland, OR, part of Portland School District 1J, which ranks 12th of 141 districts in Oregon. Richmond ranks 33rd of 709 schools statewide in 2025–26 — the 95th percentile with 5 stars — and has earned 4 or 5 stars every year since 2021–22. Its 2025–26 proficiency rates are 72.1% in English language arts, 71.3% in math, and 65.4% in science, all well above district and state averages. Even so, Richmond sits 6th of 11 in ELA and math and 5th in science among 10 nearby same-district schools, because its neighborhood holds an unusually dense cluster of high performers. Five nearby schools rank higher statewide: Winterhaven School (1st), Laurelhurst Elementary School (6th), Glencoe Elementary School (10th), Abernethy Elementary School (11th), and Le Monde French Immersion Public Charter School (15th).

Attendance is a standout strength. Chronic absenteeism was 15.1% in 2024–25, less than half the district's 32.5% and the state's 33.5%, and second-lowest among nearby schools behind only Winterhaven School at 12.1%. Compare Buckman Elementary School (26.9%), Atkinson Elementary School (29.2%), and Grout Elementary School (35.1%). Richmond achieves its results with the highest student-teacher ratio among nearby schools (21.9) and the lowest per-student spending among nearby non-charter same-district schools ($20,810) — a notable efficiency signal, though spending and staffing alone don't determine outcomes.

Subgroup results are strongest for students in special education, ranked 10th of 352 schools statewide in 2024–25, and for low-income students, ranked 3rd of 595 in 2022–23. Gifted and talented students rank lower relative to the school's overall standing — 24th of 70 in 2025–26 — though still above average. Third-grade math proficiency is 83.1%, far above district (57.5%) and state (41.3%), then eases to 65.8% in 4th grade and 64.2% in 5th; ELA stays steadier at 73.5%, 68.4%, and 74.1%. The reported free/reduced-lunch rate is 41.51%, similar to most nearby schools, but it rose from 5.38% in 2022–23, which likely reflects reporting or eligibility changes rather than a real shift.
