Leadership Public Schools: Richmond District

The Leadership Public Schools: Richmond is the sole public charter high school serving grades 9-12 in the Leadership Public Schools: Richmond District in California. Despite facing challenges in academic achievement, particularly in mathematics and science, the school stands out for its high graduation rates and low dropout rates.

The school's four-year graduation rate of 97.0% is significantly higher than the state-wide average, and its 3.0% dropout rate is lower than the state-wide average. However, the school's proficiency rates in 11th grade and end-of-course assessments for English Language Arts/Literacy were slightly below the state-wide averages, and its mathematics and science proficiency rates were significantly below the state-wide averages and declined from the previous year.

The school's high percentage of students from low-income families, as indicated by the 63.67% free/reduced lunch rate, may be a contributing factor to its lower test scores. Additionally, the school's relatively high student-teacher ratio of 26.9 may present challenges in providing personalized attention and support to its students. Overall, the data suggests that the school is effectively supporting its students in achieving academic success, but there is room for improvement, particularly in the areas of mathematics and science.
