Summary:
Bonsall High is the only high school listed in Bonsall Unified, serving grades 9–12 and 342 students. In 2025–2026, its all-grades English language arts (ELA) proficiency was about 51%, slightly above the state, while science was 32%, below the state. Mathematics was the clearest concern: about 14% were proficient, 25 percentage points below the state and 29 points below the district.
There is no meaningful local top-to-bottom comparison because only one school is listed. Within its results, ELA stands out most positively: about 51% proficient, 2 points above the state, though 1 point below the district. Science was about 32%, 4 points below the state and 9 below the district. Graduation is another relative strength: 93%, compared with 88% statewide, while the dropout rate was 7%, 2 points lower than the state. A counterpoint is attendance: chronic absenteeism was 21%, 3 points above the state and 10 above the district.
Results moved in different directions by subject, with math remaining the main academic concern. From 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, math proficiency fell from 18% to 14%, while the state’s result rose from 37% to 38%; the school’s gap widened from 19 to 25 points. Science improved from 24% to 32%, narrowing its gap with the state from 8 to 4 points, while ELA declined from 53% to 51%. SchoolDigger’s ranking also slipped: from 978th of 2,159 schools, at the 55th percentile with 3 stars in 2023–2024, to 1,139th of 2,137, at the 47th percentile with 2 stars in 2025–2026. As context, the school had a 16:1 student–teacher ratio and 67% free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–2025; these figures do not establish a cause for its results. Because this list has just one school, it cannot show how Bonsall compares with other local high schools.
