Summary:
ZIP code 47374 contains one high school in this data set, Richmond High School, serving grades 9–12 with 1,273 students in Richmond, Indiana, within Richmond Community Schools. Since it is the only high school here, parents cannot compare it with another local public high school; the most useful comparisons are to its district, the state, and its own prior-year results.
The school's clearest strength is its graduation rate: 98.8% in 2024–2025, above the district's 94.3% and the state's 89.7%. Yet other indicators are concerning. Chronic absenteeism was 41.9%, compared with 33.1% in the district and 16.7% statewide—more than two in five students and about 2.5 times the state rate. SAT proficiency was 35.5% in Reading/Writing and 11.4% in Math for 2025–2026, versus district rates of 35.02% and 11.04% and state rates of 51.9% and 25.6%. Biology ILEARN proficiency was 28.09%, matching the district; the state comparison was not provided for that year. The school ranked 316 of 415, 24th percentile, 1 star in 2025–2026, and the district ranked 286 of 374, also 24th percentile, 1 star.
Recent trends are mixed. Biology ILEARN improved from 25.67% to 28.09%. However, SAT Reading/Writing fell from 41.84% to 35.5%, and SAT Math fell from 13.27% to 11.4%. The school's ranking percentile dropped from 39 to 28 to 24 across the three reported years, and its star rating fell from 2 stars to 1 star. In 2024–2025, 55.85% of students were eligible for free/reduced lunch; per-student spending was $12,487 in 2023–2024, and the student-teacher ratio was 15.2 in 2024–2025. The main limitation is that ZIP 47374 has only one high school in this data set, so all comparisons are to the district, the state, or prior years.
