Richmond Public Schools

Serving its community from its central office at 132 Main Street in Richmond, Maine (04357), Richmond Public Schools is an active, open public school district dedicated to delivering a seamless PK–12 education. Situated in a distant rural setting within the broader Portland-South Portland metropolitan area context, the district operates three public schools designed to guide children from pre-kindergarten through 12th-grade graduation. With a total enrollment of 422 students across its primary and secondary programs, the district offers a close-knit, supportive learning atmosphere where students build strong academic foundations and meaningful connections with their peers and educators.

A defining feature of Richmond Public Schools is its deep investment in professional support, ensuring that learners benefit from an unusually responsive educational environment. The district maintains a workforce equivalent to nearly 196 full-time staff members, including approximately 90 full-time equivalent teachers, over 13 instructional aides, and 92 support personnel focused on student services, operations, and administration. This exceptionally high ratio of educators and support professionals relative to the student body allows for small instructional groups and highly individualized guidance tailored to each child's development.
