Rancho Vista High is a public high school located in Temecula, California, serving grades 9-12 with a student population of 226. The school is part of the Temecula Valley Unified School District, which is ranked 332 out of 1,568 districts in California and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Rancho Vista High faces significant challenges, with consistently low academic performance, ranking in the bottom 20% of California high schools over the past several years. In the 2023-2024 school year, only 6.38% of 11th-grade students were proficient or better in English Language Arts/Literacy, compared to 69.35% for the Temecula Valley Unified School District and 55.73% for the state of California. The school's performance in Mathematics and Science is also significantly below the district and state averages. Rancho Vista High has also experienced fluctuating graduation rates, ranging from 62.0% to 87.8% over the past five years, and extremely high chronic absenteeism rates, reaching 100% in the 2020-2021 school year and remaining above 70% in recent years.

In comparison, the nearby Chaparral High and Great Oak High, also part of the Temecula Valley Unified School District, significantly outperform Rancho Vista High on academic measures, graduation rates, and chronic absenteeism. These schools have 4- and 5-star ratings from SchoolDigger, respectively, and their students perform at or above the state average in core subject areas. The challenges faced by Rancho Vista High may be exacerbated by its relatively high percentage of students from low-income families, with 44.69% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2022-2023 school year.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
