About Richland County School District One

Richland County School District One. Ideally located in the center of the Palmetto State and just a short drive

from the mountains and the beaches, Richland One is great place to learn, live, work and play.

Our District covers 482 square miles and encompasses urban, suburban and rural neighborhoods in

Columbia, South Carolina’s capital city. With more than 21,000 students enrolled, Richland One is the state’s

sixth-largest school district.

Recognizing that our students learn in different ways and have different interests, we offer an exciting and

challenging array of educational opportunities that include Montessori programs, International Baccalaureate

programs, visual and performing arts, foreign language, advanced academic programs, robotics and

aerospace education. Many of our programs serve as models for others across the state and nation.

Richland One’s long-standing tradition of excellence dates to the District’s earliest beginnings in the late-

1800s. Year after year, our graduates leave our schools and go on to attend some of the nation’s most

prestigious colleges and universities. The Richland One Class of 2023 received more than $77 million in

scholarships.

Our community consistently shows its commitment to nurturing educational excellence. Just walk into any of

our schools and you’ll see evidence of the vigorous community support that our district enjoys. Thanks to

Richland One voters, our students go to school in state-of-the-art facilities built new or renovated through our

Schools for the 21st Century bond construction program. Community members from all walks of life - parents,

retirees, elected officials, college students, business people, military, faith-based organizations - also share

their time and talents every day by serving as volunteers in our schools.

Richland One is more than just a school district. We are a community of learners with one vision, one mission

and one common purpose - providing all of our students with a high-quality education.
