What this school's NCES data tells you

That figure sits 58% below the Indiana state mean of 16.1:1, signalling more teacher attention per pupil than the state benchmark. Against the national 2024-25 average of 15.9:1, it is 57% lower, a useful calibration for families comparing districts across state lines.
Title I and federal lunch eligibility offer another window into the student body: 86.9% of pupils qualify for free meals, a proxy for household income that federal programs use to direct funding. The free-lunch share is 76% above the Indiana average and 68% above the national baseline. Chronic absenteeism — missing 10% or more of school days — stands at 67.2% according to the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection.
On the finance side, the surrounding Richmond Community Schools spends $14,806 per pupil district-wide, above the Indiana average of $14,559 and below the national average of $19,490.
