High Schools in Richfield Public School District

The Richfield Public School District in Minnesota is home to three high schools that serve students in grades 9-12: Richfield Senior High, Richfield College Experience Prg, and Secondary Special Education. These schools face significant challenges, with Richfield Senior High and Richfield College Experience Prg consistently ranking in the bottom quarter and bottom 5% of Minnesota high schools, respectively, over the past few years.

The district's high schools serve a diverse student population, with a significant percentage of Hispanic, African American, and other minority students. Socioeconomic challenges are also prevalent, with all three schools having high rates of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 64.88% at Richfield Senior High to 84% at Secondary Special Education. This suggests that the district is serving a population with significant socioeconomic challenges, which may be contributing to the schools' underperformance.

The smaller alternative high schools, Richfield College Experience Prg and Secondary Special Education, have lower student-teacher ratios, but their academic performance data is limited, making it difficult to assess their effectiveness. Overall, the Richfield Public School District appears to be facing significant challenges in providing high-quality education to its students, and targeted interventions may be necessary to address the underperformance of the district's high schools and the socioeconomic factors that may be contributing to these challenges.
