Summary

Rancho Vista High is a small Temecula Valley Unified high school in Temecula, California, serving grades 9–12 with 176 students—far fewer than nearby comprehensive high schools, which enroll roughly 2,000 to 3,300. Graduation has improved, from 62% in 2022–2023 to 79% in 2025–2026, but remains below the district’s 97% and the state’s 88%. Chronic absenteeism is the clearest concern: 77% of students were chronically absent in 2025–2026, compared with 15% in Temecula Valley Unified and 18% statewide.

Test results are below state and district levels in all three subjects, with ELA the relative strength and math the weakest against those benchmarks. In 2025–2026, ELA proficiency was 24%, versus 49% statewide and 64% districtwide; math was 7%, versus 38% and 52%; and science was 11%, versus 36% and 51%. Rancho Vista’s science result was below every reported nearby-school score, including the lowest, 21%. Its math score was higher only than Oasis High (Alternative) among nearby schools with reported results. ELA also fell below all reported nearby scores, which started at 48%.

Scores have risen since 2022–2023 in all three subjects, but progress is modest: ELA increased from 21% to 24%, math from 2% to 7%, and science from 9% to 11%. ELA and math narrowed their gaps with the state, while science fell further behind. SchoolDigger ranks Rancho Vista 1,692 of 2,137 statewide, at the 21st percentile with one star; its percentile has risen from 14 in 2023–2024. The student-teacher ratio was 11.7 in 2024–2025, lower than at nearby schools with reported ratios except Murrieta Options Academy. Free/reduced lunch eligible was 63% in 2024–2025, higher than at the same-district peers in the supplied data. SchoolDigger’s Special Education Students percentile rose from 14 in 2023–2024 to 33 in 2025–2026, indicating improved relative performance for this group; the overall percentile was 21 that year.
