What Richton High School does

Richton High School is the secondary campus (grades 7–12) of the Richton School District, a public K-12 district headquartered at 701 Elm Avenue in Richton, Mississippi. The district operates two schools — Richton Elementary School (K–6) and Richton High School (7–12) — serving the local community under the authority of the Mississippi Department of Education, with Superintendent Clay Anglin and School Board President Jeremy Edwards providing governance. All three accountability units (district, elementary, high school) received B ratings on the 2024–25 Mississippi Succeeds Report Card, with the district additionally earning a B+ from the Mississippi Department of Education.

The district's program portfolio includes dual enrollment partnerships with Jones College and William Carey University (offering transferable college credit in English Composition, College Algebra, World Literature, and Spanish), accelerated high school courses in science and English, the Gator Club gifted and talented pull-out program for Grades 2–6, IDEA-compliant special education services for approximately 100 students via seven teachers, a speech-language pathologist, three assistants, and a case manager, plus English Learner programming aligned to state immersion guidelines. Technology infrastructure is built on third-party platforms: NWEA MAP for tri-annual universal screening, Active Parent/Active Student as the parent-student engagement portal (web plus iOS app), SAM Spectra for administration, and a broad K-12 ed-tech stack including Google Classroom, Khan Academy, IXL, Renaissance Learning, Code.org, BrainPOP, ReadWorks, and Typing Club, delivered through computer labs and ChromeBook carts.

As a government entity, the district is funded primarily through Mississippi Department of Education allocations and federal Title programs (Title I, II, IV, V), ESSER/ARP ESSER, IDEA, and Preschool funding, with supplemental revenue from the Child Nutrition Program (breakfast $1.25, lunch $2.75–$3.00; free and reduced-price meals available via MySchoolApps). Athletics (football, basketball, baseball, powerlifting) and non-athletic activities supplement the academic core. The district's value proposition centers on small student-teacher ratios (11:1 elementary, 15:1 district), college-credit access, and individualized instruction within a defined rural attendance zone.
