Summary

Richland Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Quakertown, Pennsylvania, serving 343 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the Quakertown Community School District, which is ranked 314 out of 606 school districts in the state.

Richland Elementary School has consistently outperformed the Quakertown Community School District and the state of Pennsylvania in PSSA (Pennsylvania System of School Assessment) Math and English Language Arts (ELA) scores across all grade levels. In the 2024-2025 school year, the school's PSSA Math proficiency rate was 52.7%, compared to 37.1% for the district and 41.7% for the state. Similarly, its PSSA ELA proficiency rate was 44.5%, compared to 44.2% for the district and 48.5% for the state. The school's performance in PSSA Science has also been strong, with a proficiency rate of 83.3% in 2023-2024, significantly higher than the district (67.6%) and the state (65.8%).

While Richland Elementary School's academic performance is strong, its statewide ranking has declined over the years, from a high of 128 out of 1,474 Pennsylvania elementary schools in the 2014-2015 school year to 787 out of 1,511 in the 2024-2025 school year. This decline may be due to the school's performance relative to other schools in the state, as well as changes in the overall school landscape and assessment criteria. When compared to nearby schools, such as Liberty Bell Elementary School in the Southern Lehigh School District and Sellersville Elementary School in the Pennridge School District, Richland Elementary School's performance is not as strong, with these neighboring schools consistently achieving higher PSSA proficiency rates and statewide rankings.
