Richmond High

Richmond High sits in one of the Bay Area's most historically rich and working-class cities, where families are deeply rooted and community pride runs strong despite the economic challenges the area has faced over the decades. The school serves a diverse student population, and families who are engaged and looking to get involved will find opportunities to advocate for their kids in a district that is actively working on improvement. Richmond itself has a gritty, authentic character — close to the water, with easy access to the broader Bay Area — and for families committed to the community, there's a real sense of belonging that goes beyond what any test score can capture.
