Summary:
The Bonita Unified school district operates four high schools serving grades 9-12, including two comprehensive high schools, a continuation school, and an adult transition program, in a district with a mix of socioeconomic backgrounds.
Among the comprehensive schools, Bonita High stands out as a top performer, ranking in the 96th percentile statewide with exceptional graduation and English proficiency rates, while San Dimas High also performs very well, ranking in the 91st percentile with a strong graduation rate. Both schools significantly exceed state averages in key subjects and graduation, though a noticeable performance gap exists between them in English and math proficiency that may interest parents.
The district's Chaparral High (Continuation) serves a small population of students facing significant academic and attendance challenges, with outcomes far below district and state averages despite much higher per-student funding. Overall, the district excels at graduating students, with a rate nearly 10 points above the state average, but parents should note a concerning drop in science scores between 10th and 12th grade across the comprehensive high schools.
