Richman School is Better Than Ever! Our State Test results from Spring 2011 were our absolute best yet---with Richman School achieving an API of 820 which means that we made and surpassed the State target of 800. WOW!!! This is the result of our strong standards-based instructional programs, strong teacher collaboration and strong parent and community involvement. Together we have made a difference and will continue to do so as we strive for the next target of 1000! Come and visit us and see all of the wonderful things that we have to offer.

This last school year we also had the largest student improved attendance in the district. This is proof that there is a definite correlation between student attendance and student achievement. Way to go Richman! Let's make sure that students are in school and on time EVERY SINGLE DAY!
