Richmond Elementary School

Public Grades PK, KG-4

Summary

Richmond Elementary School is a public elementary school serving around 370 students in grades PK-4 in Richmond, Vermont. The school consistently performs above the state average on standardized tests and has a strong statewide ranking, placing 24th out of 113 Vermont elementary schools in the 2022-2023 school year.

Richmond Elementary School's academic performance is particularly impressive, with 55.56% of 3rd graders and 65.96% of 4th graders proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to the state averages of 48.91% and 56.41%, respectively. In mathematics, 50.91% of 3rd graders and 40.43% of 4th graders were proficient or better, compared to the state averages of 37.19% and 34.9%. The school's strong performance extends to specific student subgroups, ranking 9th out of 46 Vermont elementary schools for male students and 34th out of 133 for white students.

While Richmond Elementary School outperforms the state averages, it is not the highest-performing school in its immediate vicinity. Nearby schools like Hinesburg Community School and Williston Schools also have strong academic records and higher statewide rankings. Additionally, the school's predominantly white student body and low percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (9.73%) may raise questions about equity and access to educational resources for students from lower-income families within the Mount Mansfield Unified Union School District #401.
