R.B. Stall High School is home to over 1800 students who are smart, talented and extremely hard working. To support them, over 180 staff members have been selected and trained to provide the highest quality instruction and support services to ensure that every day is among the very best.
Our continuous improvement as a school is driven by our School Improvement Team who has implemented strategies to accomplish achievement goals in the areas of graduation rate, instruction, college and career readiness, and student satisfaction. At the center of our continuous improvement efforts is our graduation rate and our performance on end of course assessments. Annual increases in these areas have been celebrated, primarily as early evidence of our team doing the right work. Some of the interventions we have implemented to support our students are our weekly tutoring program, summer school and summer learning opportunities, and tiered counseling and mentoring services for all students.
As we have grown, we have created smaller learning communities within the school. This fosters connectedness and belonging between peers and teachers. Each student is a member of a House. In their House, they attend their daily home-room where they receive social, academic and emotional support. Each house also has a House Administrator, an Interventionist, a School Counselor, and a truancy interventionist and an Instructional Coach. This team is responsible for working directly with students, families, and teachers to ensure progress each and every day.
As we prepare all students to be college and career ready, our focus on rigor develops graduates with the highest levels of academic readiness. Students are challenged to demonstrate college readiness by enrolling in one of 16 Advanced Placement courses offered at R.B. Stall High School. Students are also challenged to think critically while participating in authentic work-based learning experiences. Our students have opportunities to participate in career and technology education in the areas of Marketing, Digital Art and Design, finance, and newly expanded offerings through the Cooper River Center for Advanced Studies (CAS). We also offer student enrichment through our excellent athletics, JROTC, Student Government, Band, Chorus, Steel Drums and various other clubs and service organizations.
Finally, as we look to the 2024-2025 school year and beyond, R.B. Stall High School will continue to strive for continuous improvement. We are excited for the successes we have achieved and will continue to improve to better serve our students and school community. Our combined efforts will allow us to ensure every student becomes a college and career ready graduate!
