Summary

Richland High School in North Richland Hills, TX, is a large public high school serving over 2,000 students in grades 9-12 as part of the Birdville Independent School District (Isd). This school is on a strong upward trajectory, earning a 4-star rating (71st percentile) for the 2025-2026 school year, a significant improvement from a low point just a few years ago. Richland stands out for its exceptional performance in Biology and U.S. History, consistently outperforming both its district and state averages, and it also boasts a very high graduation rate and a very low dropout rate, providing a stable foundation for student success.

One of the most impressive stories at Richland is its dramatic turnaround in Algebra I. After a severe dip to just 31.9% proficiency in 2023-2024, the school engineered a remarkable recovery, jumping to 61.9% proficiency in 2025-2026—a 30-percentage-point increase that now places it well above the state average. This suggests a highly effective intervention or curriculum change was implemented. Additionally, Richland provides strong support for specific student groups, ranking in the top 8% of the state for Native American students and the top 16% for Special Education students, indicating targeted and effective support systems are in place.

When compared to its district peer, Birdville High School, Richland achieves more with its available resources. Despite serving a slightly more economically diverse population, Richland outperforms Birdville in key subjects like Algebra I (61.9% vs. 52.5%) and Biology (76.7% vs. 75.0%). This success is even more notable when contrasted with nearby magnet schools like Keller Collegiate Academy and Grapevine-Colleyville Collegiate Academy At Tcc NE, which draw top-performing students. Richland achieves strong results with a general student population, making it a clear standout within its district and a school that is clearly on the rise.
