Since its founding, the Richmond Community Foundation (RCF) has led a strategic effort to revitalize the Nystrom neighborhood located in Richmond, California. This neighborhood was chosen because of its need and its assets.
This comprehensive effort began with the creation of the Richmond College Preparatory Pre- and Elementary School. Working from a community centered school model, RCF has witnessed this model evolve into a high performing preschool and K-5 charter school.
In light of our vision and success, RCF created Richmond Elementary School, Inc. (RES, Inc.), a nonprofit organization comprised of parents, businesses, and education and community leaders to operate the school. The RES, Inc. philosophy is much like RCF’s – to be successful, schools must be owned and operated by the community.
Today, RES, Inc. has sprouted wings and operates successfully on its own as an independent organization.
We will continue to work with RES, Inc. as a partner and collaborator, ensuring continued student success and achievement. This collaboration allows RCF to continue its important mission of revitalizing and improving the Nystrom neighborhood as a whole.
We congratulate the RES, Inc. Board, RES, Inc. administration, teachers, staff and students on its success and we look forward to many years of partnership in educational excellence.
As RES, Inc. grows, so will the RES, Inc. website. Please check back in the coming months for RES, Inc. information and updates.
