Summary

Richmond Senior High is a public high school in Rockingham, North Carolina, serving 1,358 students in grades 10-12. The school is part of the Richmond County Schools district, which is ranked 179 out of 242 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite being part of the Richmond County Schools district, Richmond Senior High has consistently ranked in the bottom half of North Carolina high schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger for most of the past decade. The school's performance is particularly concerning when looking at specific student subgroups, as it ranks in the bottom 25% of the state for students across various demographics. Additionally, the school's four-year graduation rate has declined from 86.9% to 83.5% over the past two years, significantly lower than the state average.

When comparing Richmond Senior High to nearby schools within the same district, the performance gap is stark. While Ashley Chapel Educational Center is also a low-performing school, Richmond Early College High is a high-performing school, ranking in the top 5% of North Carolina high schools. This suggests that the district may need to implement targeted interventions and support to address the challenges faced by Richmond Senior High.
