Summary

Leadership Public Schools: Richmond is a public high school serving grades 9-12 and approximately 546 students in Richmond, CA, operating within its own Leadership Public Schools: Richmond District.

The school is on a strong upward trajectory, having improved its statewide ranking from a 1-star to a 3-star rating in just two years, a notable contrast to some nearby schools like Aspire Richmond Ca. College Preparatory Academy and Summit Public School: Tamalpais which saw declines. Its most standout strength is student engagement, with a remarkably low chronic absenteeism rate of just 5.5%, dramatically better than the state average and neighboring schools such as Greenwood Academy. This focus likely contributes to its exceptional 96.8% graduation rate, which far exceeds the state average and outperforms most comprehensive high schools in the area like Richmond High.

Academically, the school performs above the state average in English Language Arts but has room for growth in mathematics and, especially, science—a challenge shared by many schools in the region except for top performers like Middle College High. The school shows particular effectiveness with its student population, achieving 3-star ratings for Hispanic and low-income students. A point for continued attention is a significant performance gap between male and female students. Overall, LPS Richmond represents a compelling turnaround story, achieving strong graduation and attendance outcomes with moderate per-student spending compared to some other local charter schools.
