and 61.1% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 67.7% African American, 14.9% White, 11.3% Hispanic or Latino across the district's schools.
Richfield Public School Academy accounts for 65.9% of all Richfield Public School Academy student enrollment
That is an overwhelming concentration, leaving the rest of Richfield Public School Academy a distant remainder — means Richfield Public School Academy-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the dominant entity. Grade band: elementary. A single dominant campus often anchors a district's program offerings and staffing patterns; the share helps explain why district-wide averages may not reflect the typical neighbourhood-school experience. When one entity dominates a region's footprint, its programmatic and budget decisions effectively set policy for a majority of the affected population.
Richfield Public School Academy has higher-than-average Title I eligibility — 93.3% of the population qualifies for free or reduced-price lunch
free or reduced-price lunch eligibility is the federal threshold for Title I funding allocations, established under the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA, 2015). Eligibility here is a supermajority of the population — well past the 75% concentration-grant threshold that unlocks extra funding on top of the basic Title I formula. Regions with eligibility this high typically draw a substantially larger federal funding share relative to their local tax base, which can either offset or reinforce existing gaps depending on allocation policy.
Richfield Public School Academy chronic absenteeism rate is 61.1% — well above typical (typically associated with unusually large scale or acute resource constraints)
chronic absenteeism rate is the simplest comparative metric but it does not capture the full picture: a student is chronically absent if they miss ≥10% of enrolled days for any reason, illness, family obligations, or disengagement Values this far above typical often signal acute resource constraints or a structurally different scale than most peers — worth reading alongside the underlying counts, not the ratio alone.
