Summary

San Dimas High is a public high school serving grades 9–12, with 1,235 students in San Dimas and Bonita Unified. Its overall results are strong compared with California and nearby comprehensive high schools, but the most important concern for parents to note is that math proficiency is substantially below the district’s result.

English and science are standouts against nearby comprehensive-school averages, while math is a relative weakness. In 2025–2026, 81% of students were proficient in English language arts (ELA), 50% in math, and 60% in science. Among six nearby comprehensive high schools, San Dimas ranked third in ELA, fourth in math, and second in science; its results were 12 points above the peer average in ELA, 4 points above in math, and 15 points above in science. Compared with the district, San Dimas was 8 points ahead in ELA, 14 points behind in math, and essentially even in science. It exceeded state results in all three subjects, by 31 points in ELA, 12 in math, and 24 in science.

Science has improved especially sharply: proficiency rose 25 points from 2022–2023 to 2025–2026, compared with a 6-point increase statewide. ELA and math also rose over that period, but by only 2 points each. SchoolDigger places San Dimas in the 92nd statewide percentile for 2025–2026, with 5 stars, up from the 84th percentile in 2021–2022. The 2024–2025 student-teacher ratio was 21.4, below the nearby-school average of 23; 38% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that year. SchoolDigger’s statewide standing for Special Education Students was 69th percentile, notably below the school’s overall 92nd percentile. Its ranking for Multi-racial Students rose from the 51st percentile in 2023–2024 to the 84th in 2025–2026, indicating a marked improvement in the school’s comparative standing for that group.
