Richmond Charter Academy District

Located at 1450 Marina Way South in Richmond, California, Richmond Charter Academy District is an open, independent charter district dedicated to supporting middle school students across grades 6 through 8. Operating a single operational campus within a large suburban setting of the greater San Francisco-Oakland-Fremont metropolitan area, the district functions as its own local educational agency for federal programs. The district maintains a focused learning community of 296 students, distributed evenly across the middle grades with 100 sixth graders, 98 seventh graders, and 98 eighth graders. Its student body reflects a vibrant multicultural community, predominantly comprising Hispanic students alongside Black, White, Asian, Pacific Islander, and multiracial peers.

To foster academic development and holistic support during these crucial transitional years, the district employs a robust and specialized workforce. The instructional team includes approximately 16 full-time equivalent teachers and 3 instructional aides, complimented by 26 dedicated support staff members, bringing total district staffing to over 45 full-time equivalent positions. This intentional allocation of staff ensures a strong ratio of educators and specialists focused on middle-school instruction and student well-being.
