Summary:
Richmond School District in Wisconsin contains just one school: Richmond Elementary in Sussex, serving students from pre-kindergarten through eighth grade with an enrollment of about 410. Because the district has only one school, every district figure is identical to the school's own results, so the meaningful comparison for parents is between this school and the state of Wisconsin as a whole.
By that measure, the school performs at a very high level. Richmond Elementary ranks 14th of 432 Wisconsin districts and 49th of 1,039 ranked schools, placing it in the top 5% of the state, and it has earned the highest rating of five stars in each of the last three years. In 2025–2026, every one of the 16 grade-level subject results in ELA, math, science, and social studies exceeded the state average. Pooling grades, the school beats Wisconsin by roughly 26 points in ELA, math, and science, and about 20 points in social studies — an unusually even profile with no weak subject or grade band. Scores were essentially flat compared with the prior year, indicating consistency rather than a one-year spike.
Attendance is the standout non-academic number: chronic absenteeism is 3.4%, about one-fifth of the state's 17.3%. The one metric where the school trails the state is the dropout rate, 3.5% versus 1.1% — but dropout figures are designed around high-school populations and are difficult to interpret in a PK–8 building, and the total represents only about 14 students. The school spends $13,077 per student with a 15.7-to-1 student–teacher ratio, both mid-range, while 1.46% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch, a notably low share that is important context when interpreting the results.
