Summary:

High schools in San Ramon Valley Unified include six grade 9–12 schools serving 10,106 students: four comprehensive high schools and two small alternative settings. The key distinction for families is the large difference in results between the comprehensive schools and the alternative schools: their average proficiency is 43 percentage points higher in ELA and 59 points higher in mathematics.

Dougherty Valley High leads the reported 2025–2026 results in all three subjects, with 90% proficiency in ELA, 80% in mathematics, and 72% in science—5, 14, and 3 points ahead of the next-highest schools, respectively. California High is the closest all-around challenger, ranking second in ELA and science and second in mathematics among the comprehensive schools. At the other end, Del Amigo High (Continuation) has the lowest reported ELA and mathematics results, at 33% and 6%; San Ramon Valley High has the lowest reported science result, 49%, still 13 points above the state’s 36%. Science results for Venture (Alternative) and Del Amigo are suppressed, and the alternative schools’ very small enrollments and distinct settings make direct comparisons less reliable.

Recent movement is mixed: the six-school average rose 2 points in ELA from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026 but fell 3 points in mathematics, while the comprehensive-school averages each rose about 1 point. California High improved by 10 points in ELA, 4 in mathematics, and 19 in science; by contrast, Monte Vista’s ELA fell 7 points as its science rose 13, and Venture’s mathematics fell 32. SchoolDigger’s statewide ranking also moved sharply for California High, from 195 in 2023–2024 to 51 in 2025–2026. The reported free/reduced lunch eligible measure for 2024–2025 ranged from 5% at Monte Vista High to 41% at Del Amigo; among comprehensive schools, California High’s 9% was higher than Monte Vista’s 5%, despite stronger scores. Ratios also vary: Dougherty Valley’s 24.7 students per teacher accompanies the highest scores, while Venture’s ratio is 5.5. These figures describe school differences, not their causes.
