Blue Ridge Unified School District No. 32

Blue Ridge Unified School District No. 32 serves students from prekindergarten through grade 12 across three schools: Blue Ridge Elementary School, Blue Ridge Junior High School, and Blue Ridge High School. Across the three schools, the unweighted average All Grades results were 33% in ELA and 25% in math, each 8 percentage points below the state figures. The sharpest grade-level concern is at Junior High, where 7th graders were 20 points below the state in ELA and 14 points below in math.

Blue Ridge Elementary School had the highest reported All Grades results, at 38% in ELA and 30% in math; Blue Ridge Junior High School had the lowest, at 26% and 19%—gaps of 12 and 11 points between the schools. Blue Ridge High School scored 35% in ELA and 26% in math. Elementary’s grade results varied: 3rd and 6th graders were at or above state results in both subjects, while 4th and 5th graders were below in both. High had stronger outcomes beyond ELA and math: its graduation rate was 87%, 7 points above the state, and its dropout rate was 3%, 2 points below; 11th-grade science was 5 points above the state. All Grades figures pool different grade spans, so they are not a grade-matched school comparison.

SchoolDigger’s statewide ranking percentiles fell from 2023–2024 to 2025–2026 at all three schools: Elementary went from 44 to 40, High from 47 to 45, and Junior High from 37 to 23, after briefly rising to 38 in 2024–2025. These rankings show a decline in relative standing, not necessarily a change in test scores. Junior High also has the smallest enrollment (229) and lowest student–teacher ratio (12.8), while Elementary has the largest enrollment (801) and highest ratio (19.7); High enrolls 598 students and has a 17.4 ratio. In this group, the smaller school and lower ratio do not coincide with higher All Grades results.
