Summary

Richmond Hill High School is a public high school in Richmond Hill, New York, serving 1,697 students in grades 9-12. The school is part of the New York City Geographic District #27, which is ranked 571 out of 874 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Richmond Hill High School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of New York high schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating it is among the lowest-performing schools in the state. The school's proficiency rates on Regents exams are generally below the district and state averages, particularly in math subjects. Its 4-year graduation rate has ranged from 77.5% to 84.3%, which is below the state average, and its dropout rates have been higher than the state average. The school has also struggled with high chronic absenteeism, with rates ranging from 28.2% to 46.9% in recent years.

Interestingly, some nearby schools in a neighboring district, such as Queens Metropolitan High School and High School-Construction Trades Engineering & Architecture, perform significantly better on many metrics, suggesting there may be district-level factors impacting school performance. Additionally, Richmond Hill High School has relatively high per-student spending compared to the nearby schools, but this higher spending does not seem to translate into better academic outcomes, indicating potential issues with resource allocation and utilization.
