About Our School
Richman Elementary School was established in 1958 and is located in the City of Fullerton in Orange county. It is bordered by a public park to the East with residential homes to the West. Richman’s population is composed of students from diverse backgrounds with 87.66% of families eligible for free or reduced lunch. Richman is identified as a Title I School program Transitional Kindergarten (TK) through sixth grade. In addition we have an Award Winning Reggio Inspired State Pre-School program on campus that serves the Fullerton School Community.
The current Richman school enrollment for the 2019-20 school year is 687 which includes our State Preschool and Transitional Kindergarten (TK) program. The TK Program is a full- day blended program serving TK and Kindergarten SDC students. The Transitional Kindergarten/Kinder SDC class allows for a lower student teacher ratio providing students with differentiated and small group instruction. Our State Preschool Program consists of two teachers conducting 4 classes and serving a total of 69 students.
Our committed staff holds themselves responsible and accountable for the achievement of all the students in our school. Parents are offered learning opportunities as they participate in our school wide events alongside leadership opportunities such as ELAC, SSC, DLAC and PTA. We offer many workshops for parents to learn how to work with their children and make learning an enjoyable experience. We offer students a variety of opportunities to participate in classes/clubs before and after school. After school students may participate in Folklorico Dance Team, Speech and Debate Team, Congressional App Challenge, E-Sports Team, Robotics Team, Marathon Kids Running Club,4th grade Hockey Team, REACH program, Art Classes, Writer's Guild, ALEKS math class, Linda Mood Bell class, Theater and the Boy Scouts. During school hours we offer a Response to Intervention (RtI) program to support our students academically and behaviorally. Our students know that Richman is a safe place that will prepare them to be life-long learners and be successful in their future endeavors.
Our school community consists of the Richman staff, parents, and the surrounding community which allows us to have an innovative approach for assisting our students in achieving their academic and social goals through meeting the Common Core State Standards. Without the committed parents and community, our goals could not be met. The Richman staff is also committed to improving student learning by analyzing data in order to plan for the current and future needs of our students.
Richman was recently recognized as OC Parenting Magazine’s 2020 Reader’s Choice Award for the Best Public Elementary School in Orange County as well as three prestigious awards: California Gold Ribbon School Award, Title One Academic Achievement Award, and a Positive Behavior Intervention & Supports (PBIS) Silver Award winning school.
