Ramona City Unified

Summary:

The Ramona City Unified School District consists of 11 schools, including 6 elementary schools, 1 middle school, 3 high schools, and 1 alternative school. The district serves the Ramona community and surrounding areas. Several schools stand out in the district, with Ramona High School and James Dukes Elementary earning high marks for their strong academic performance.

Ramona High School is a top-performing high school, ranking in the top 25% of California high schools and earning 4 out of 5 stars from SchoolDigger. The school has a high 4-year graduation rate of 95.4% and outperforms the district and state averages on standardized tests in English Language Arts, Math, and Science. James Dukes Elementary is also a standout, ranking in the top 20% of California elementary schools and earning 4 out of 5 stars. The school excels in both English Language Arts and Math, with proficiency rates significantly higher than the district and state averages.

While some schools in the Ramona City Unified School District demonstrate strong academic performance, the data also reveals significant disparities between the highest and lowest performing schools. The continuation and alternative schools, such as Montecito High (Continuation) and Future Bound Independent Study Secondary, face unique challenges with low test scores, high dropout rates, and chronic absenteeism. Additionally, there appears to be a correlation between a school's socioeconomic status and its academic performance, with the highest poverty schools generally underperforming.
