Summary

Richmond Elementary School is a K–5 school at 466 Richmond Ave SE in Salem, Oregon, serving 242 students as part of Salem-Keizer School District 24J. It is one of the smaller elementary schools in its immediate area, and in 2025–2026 it ranks 671st of 709 Oregon elementary schools (5th percentile, 0 stars) — a position at the bottom of the state rankings it has held for most of the past decade.

Test scores trail both the district and the state in every subject: 24.8% in English language arts, 13.3% in math, and 6% in science. Science is the widest gap, about 24.6 points below the state, and the 5th grade cohort is the weakest group (20.8% ELA, 6.3% math, 6% science). Chronic absenteeism is 49.1% — the highest among nearby schools and roughly 16 points above the state — though it is improving from 58.9% in 2021–22. Richmond also has the highest per-student spending ($25,082) and smallest classes (15.6:1) of the nearby schools examined, yet ranks second-to-last among them. Only Four Corners Elementary School ranks lower, while Morningside Elementary School — with a nearly identical low-income rate, about $2,400 less spent per student, and larger classes — reaches 60.1% ELA, 47.8% math, and 42.4% science.

There are real bright spots. Special education students rank at the 70th percentile statewide with 4 stars, up from the 34th percentile a year earlier, and low-income students (25th percentile) outperform the school's own overall standing. Fourth grade ELA at 35.3% is the one grade and subject that beats the district average of 31.0%, making the current 4th graders Richmond's strongest group.
