High Schools in San Ramon Valley Unified

The San Ramon Valley Unified school district operates five high schools serving grades 9-12 in the affluent San Francisco Bay Area communities of San Ramon and Danville, with four large comprehensive high schools and one small continuation school serving a distinct student population.

This is an exceptionally high-performing district where all four comprehensive high schools—Dougherty Valley High, Monte Vista High, San Ramon Valley High, and California High—consistently rank in the top 6% of California schools, boasting graduation rates above 96% and very low dropout rates. Dougherty Valley High stands out as the top-ranked school in the district and state, while San Ramon Valley High has shown impressive recent improvement in its statewide ranking.

The fifth school, Del Amigo High (Continuation), serves a specialized role with only 34 students and faces different challenges, including much higher chronic absenteeism, highlighting the district's commitment to serving diverse educational needs. Overall, parents can expect strong academic results, with English Language Arts being the strongest subject across the comprehensive schools, though per-student spending does not directly correlate with higher test scores among them.
