School Overview

Ford Elementary sits in Richmond, a working-class Bay Area city with a tight-knit community feel and easy access to the waterfront and regional parks. The school serves families in one of the more economically challenged pockets of the East Bay, and the numbers reflect that — academics here are a work in progress, with room to grow across English, math, and science. Families who are deeply rooted in the Richmond community and looking for a neighborhood school close to home will find Ford a familiar, local option.
