Summary:

Ramona High is a public high school located in Ramona, California, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 1,494 students. The school is part of the Ramona City Unified School District, which is ranked 729 out of 1,568 districts in California and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Ramona High has consistently maintained high four-year graduation rates, ranging from 94.8% to 95.7% over the past five years, which are significantly higher than the state average. The school's dropout rates have also been relatively low, ranging from 0.9% to 1.6% over the same period. Academically, Ramona High's students perform better than the district and state averages in Smarter Balanced Assessments for English Language Arts/Literacy and Mathematics, as well as in the California Science Test (CAST). For example, in 2023-2024, 60.4% of Ramona High's 11th-grade students were proficient or better in ELA/Literacy, compared to 54.42% for the district and 55.73% for the state. While the school's chronic absenteeism rate has increased from 13.4% in 2018-2019 to 30.1% in 2022-2023, it is still lower than the district's rate of 37.1% in the same year.

Compared to nearby schools, Ramona High generally outperforms the other schools in the Ramona City Unified District, such as Future Bound Independent Study Secondary and Montecito High (Continuation). However, when compared to schools in other districts, such as Rancho Bernardo High and Poway High (both in the Poway Unified District), Ramona High's performance is not as strong. Despite these challenges, the school's ability to maintain strong academic outcomes despite a relatively high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds is a notable achievement.

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.
