CENTRAL HEIGHTS ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

Central Heights Elem is a Title I public elementary school that is part of the Central Heights school district, located in Richmond, KS with about 284 students offering grade levels from Pre-Kindergarten to 5th Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education. With about 23 teachers, Central Heights Elem has a student/teacher ratio of about 12:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

Central Heights Elementary, located at 3521 Ellis Road in Richmond, Kansas, serves as a foundational component of the Central Heights Unified School District (USD 288).

The institution emphasizes core academic development while fostering a sense of school spirit and local connection, characteristic of a small-town Kansas district.

As part of the larger Central Heights community, the elementary school is dedicated to preparing students for their future academic careers through a structured curriculum and collaborative engagement with parents and guardians. By maintaining a focus on foundational skills and student well-being, the school aims to create a nurturing atmosphere that supports both the intellectual and social growth of its young student body, ensuring they are well-prepared for their transition to the middle and high school levels within the district.
