Summary

Del Oro High is a large, consistently top-performing public high school serving grades 9-12 with about 1,634 students in Loomis, CA, within the Placer Union High district.

The school stands out for its remarkable stability and efficiency, maintaining a ranking in the 89th-96th percentile of California high schools for years while spending significantly less per student than some neighboring schools like Placer High. It achieves exceptional outcomes, including a near-perfect 99.5% graduation rate, a very low 0.5% dropout rate, and minimal chronic absenteeism. Perhaps most impressively, Del Oro provides extraordinary support for vulnerable student groups, ranking #1 in the state for serving homeless students and achieving high rankings for Hispanic and low-income students.

While Del Oro excels in English Language Arts, its math scores, though above state average, are an area for attention as they trail behind some local peers like Rocklin High and Granite Bay High. Compared to other schools in the region, Del Oro's performance is notably consistent, avoiding the ranking volatility seen at schools like Twelve Bridges High. This combination of reliable excellence, efficient resource use, and strong support for all students makes Del Oro a standout choice for families.
