Richland School District One

About Richland School District One

We Are Richland One, a nationally accredited school district building on a rich history and tradition of excellence. We are the eighth-largest of South Carolina’s 85 school districts. We educate 24,000 students representing 41 countries and as many languages. One of the Columbia area’s largest employers, the more than 4,200 employees on our team are dedicated to carrying out the district’s mission to empower all students to achieve their potential and dreams.

With 52 schools and special centers, our district stretches over 480 square miles and encompasses urban, suburban and rural communities. Our location in the Palmetto State’s capital city gives our students and employees access to advantages you won’t find anywhere else – academic programs and an environment that embraces diversity, unique partnerships with businesses, higher education institutions and the faith community, as well as unlimited cultural opportunities.

Building robots, observing surgical procedures, repairing diesel engines and flying simulated space missions are just a few of the unique educational experiences that our students can take advantage of in Richland One. We recognize that students learn in different ways and have different interests. We also understand that parents want choices when it comes to the education of their children. Among our diverse offerings are Montessori programs, foreign language instruction, International Baccalaureate and other advanced academic programs, visual and performing arts, and career and technology education programs.
Our students represent the next generation of educators, scientists, artists, entrepreneurs and leaders. Year after year, our graduates go on to attend some of the nation’s most prestigious colleges and universities.

Richland One schools are the community’s schools. Come see what we have to offer then get involved!
