Richland Northeast High School is a public high school in Columbia, South Carolina. Richland Northeast, often abbreviated as RNE, RNH, or RNHS, was founded in 1978 to handle the excessive population of students at Spring Valley High School. Spring Valley is now Richland Northeast's largest rival in sporting events. Richland Northeast is one of five high schools in Richland County School District 2 (RSD2).
Service area
Richland Northeast is the zoned high school for dependent children living on the grounds of Fort Jackson.[4]
Demographic
54% of students participate in a free or reduced-price lunch program.
Student diversity
RNE is 66 percent black, 22 percent white, 8 percent Hispanic, 2 percent Asian, and 1 percent two or more races.[5]
International Baccalaureate
In the Fall of 2012, Richland Northeast opened its doors as a new member of the International Baccalaureate Program, which is phasing out the Advanced Placement program.
Magnet programs
Richland Northeast is home to four magnet programs:
- Horizon (academic)
- Convergence Media (multimedia)
- Palmetto Center for the Arts
- International Baccalaureate
Beginning in the 2015–2016 school year, iLink will merge with Convergence Media and become iMedia.[6] A merger between Convergence Media and former program iLink was planned for the 2015–16 school year, but did not go through and resulted in the dissolution of the iLink program. Convergence Media is functioning as before.
Palmetto Center for the Arts
The Palmetto Center for the Arts received the John F. Kennedy Center Creative Ticket award for outstanding achievement in arts education. It includes dance, music, theater, and visual arts. All PCA students are enrolled in the International Baccalaureate Programme. Students who wish to join must have at least a C average.[7] Students may audition for as many programs as they want, but they can only get accepted into one.[8]
