Open High School

Who we are as a school is a reflection of the outcomes we expect from our students.  During the 2015-2016 school year a group of teachers came together to define the most prized dispositions expected of all members of our community.  These dispositions enhance our school’s mission statement and embody the ideal Open High School staff member and student.     

Two Richmond City high schools have been ranked among America’s best, according to U.S. News & World Report. Richmond Community and Open high schools received silver and bronze medals, respectively, in the ranking conducted by School Evaluation Services, a K-12 data research and analysis business operated by Standard & Poor’s. More than 18,500 schools located in 40 states were analyzed according to how well students performed on state tests, how well each school’s disadvantaged students performed and whether the school was successful in providing college-level coursework.
