Summary

Richmond Elementary School in Wyoming, Rhode Island, serves 371 students in grades K–4 in the Chariho district. In 2025–26, students were more likely to meet proficiency standards in both English language arts (ELA) and math than students statewide or districtwide, though the school’s scores have dropped since 2022–23. The key takeaway is that Richmond remains above state and district results, but its advantage—especially in ELA—has narrowed.

Math is Richmond’s strongest subject against state and district benchmarks: 52% were proficient, compared with 32% statewide and 44% districtwide. ELA proficiency was 47%, versus 33% statewide and 45% districtwide. The picture is less strong against the wider group of nearby schools: Richmond’s scores were below the nearby average of 57% in math and 54% in ELA, by 5 and 6 percentage points, respectively. It did lead the two nearby Chariho schools in both subjects, scoring 52% in math versus 51% and 39%, and 47% in ELA versus 42% and 36%.

Scores have fallen across the four years reported: ELA declined 19 percentage points, from 67% in 2022–23 to 47% in 2025–26, while math fell 13 points, from 65% to 52%, despite a rise in the latest year. SchoolDigger ranked Richmond 35th of 163 Rhode Island schools, at the 79th percentile with four stars; its percentile was 95 in 2022–23, 75 in 2024–25, then 79 in 2025–26. The 2024–25 student-teacher ratio was 13.2, compared with a nearby-school average of 12.7; the free/reduced-lunch rate was 31%, versus a nearby average of 26%. SchoolDigger’s statewide ranking for how well the school serves Hispanic students was at the 97th percentile, above Richmond’s overall 79th percentile. Its ranking for how well it serves students with low socioeconomic status was at the 64th percentile, down 24 points from the prior year.
