School Overview

Richmond is a city with a lot of heart, and Peres Elementary serves one of its most economically challenged communities — but families here are part of a school that's actively working to grow. The K-8 structure means kids can build lasting relationships with teachers and peers over many years, which can be a real anchor for families looking for consistency and community connection. Families drawn to Peres tend to be deeply rooted in the neighborhood and value a school that knows their kids by name, even as the school works to close persistent gaps in academic achievement.
