Port Richmond High School is a public high school in Staten Island, New York, serving 1,746 students in grades 9-12. The school is part of the New York City Geographic District #31, which is ranked 403 out of 874 districts in the state.
Despite increased per-student spending in recent years, Port Richmond High School has consistently ranked in the bottom quarter of New York high schools over the past decade, placing it in the bottom 25% statewide. The school struggles across various student subgroups, ranking in the bottom half of New York high schools for female, male, Asian, African American, Hispanic, White, and multi-racial students, as well as for English Language Learners, special education students, and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds. Proficiency rates on Regents exams are significantly lower than the district and state averages, and the school's 4-year graduation rates, ranging from 70.6% to 84.8%, are also below the district and state averages.
When compared to nearby high schools in the same district, such as Staten Island Technical High School, Csi High School for International Studies, and Susan E. Wagner High School, Port Richmond High School lags significantly behind in academic performance, test scores, graduation rates, and other key metrics. The school's persistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 28.5% to 40.2%, are also a major concern and likely contribute to the school's challenges.
