Summary:
The Cotati-Rohnert Park Unified district operates three public high schools serving grades 9-12, offering a range of educational environments from a large comprehensive campus to smaller, specialized programs.
Among these schools, Technology High stands out as a top performer, consistently achieving some of the highest test scores and graduation rates in the entire state. In contrast, Rancho Cotate High, the district's largest school, shows average performance with a graduation rate above the state average but notably lower math proficiency. El Camino High serves a much smaller student population and faces significant challenges, including very high rates of chronic absenteeism and lower graduation outcomes.
Key takeaways for parents include the dramatic performance differences between schools within the same district, despite similar per-student funding. The district average ranks slightly below the state average, largely influenced by the struggles at one school. Families should note that the smaller school size at Technology High coincides with exceptional results, while Rancho Cotate High offers a more traditional, large high school experience with mixed academic results, particularly in mathematics.
