Richmond Preparatory Charter School

Q: Is Richmond Preparatory Charter School a good school?

Richmond Preparatory Charter School ranks 872 nd of 1504 New York middle schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 2 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Richmond Preparatory Charter School is a middle school located in Staten Island, New York, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 219 students. The school is part of the Richmond Preparatory Charter School District, which is ranked 595 out of 865 districts in New York and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Richmond Preparatory Charter School spends significantly more per student ($25,341 in 2022-2023) compared to the nearby public schools, which have per-student spending ranging from $17,831 to $28,433, the school's performance on state assessments is generally below the state and district averages, particularly in English Language Arts (ELA) and Math. For example, in 2023-2024, the school's proficiency rates were 36.36% in 6th grade ELA, 54.88% in 7th grade ELA, and 34.38% in 6th grade Math, compared to the state averages of 43.64%, 49.56%, and 50.56%, respectively. However, the school's performance varies across different student subgroups, with the school ranking higher for African American and Hispanic students compared to White students, and performing better for special education and low socioeconomic status students compared to the overall student population.

The nearby public schools, such as IS 2 George L Egbert, IS 61 William A Morris, and IS 75 Frank D Paulo, generally outperform Richmond Preparatory Charter School on state assessments and Regents exams, particularly in ELA and Math, with some schools reaching proficiency rates above 60% in certain subjects and grade levels. This suggests that the school's smaller size and focus on serving students from low-income backgrounds, with 66.21% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch in 2022-2023, may contribute to the school's lower academic performance compared to the nearby public schools.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
