Demographics

Richmond Community High School is a specialty school within Richmond Public Schools. Rising 9th and 10th grade students from across the city of Richmond apply to attend and are vetted through a process that includes an interview, testing in math and writing, an examination of the students’ past standardized test scores, attendance, and behavior records. In short, our school serves gifted-and-talented, predominantly low-income students of color. “Community” is not just part of our name, it is a key tenet of our school’s philosophy. A student body of around 300 students allows students and teachers to grow to know each other well and those close bonds are as significant a draw to prospective students as our distinguished academic record.
