Richmond Grade School

SUPER SCHOOL !!! Excellent staff and leadership make up a very special learning community. Just the best there is!!!

I can't say enough good things about RGS. With what they have left to work with, this school comes out on top. Hopefully we can keep the great teachers that truely care for the kids. I'm very happy with the band and music programs, the kids really enjoy it too. I'll be sad when all my kids have to move on.

I went to Richmond and it's a great school. I left three years ago and my little sister attends now. I now attend Nippersink Middle School which is just as good as Richmond I just wish I could go back but I can't.

Most of our teachers are outstanding - network and ask for a particular teacher. Our teacher this year is super! Our Principal is great too, lives in our town, and is very involved. The district is having financial problems because of poor planning. The superintendent is really bad and is doing nothing to change spending. Our school does have unnecessary programs that take away time for the core subjects - the school needs to stick to the basic 3 R s and do that well before adding anything else. The assistant principal seems to be more of a create work position she does work in the cafeteria and hand out milk. We have the biggest PTO meetings every many great parents and volunteers.

Richmond Elementary School is excellent! The teachers are all dedicated and they make sure each child receives the help or extra work that they need. Although they have had to cut back on some programs and reduce the amount of teachers because of budget cuts, they still remain focused on giving your child an excellent education. My children love this school and look forward to going every day. I really appreciate the great job that the principal, assistant principal and teachers all do every day. They really care about the children's education.
