Summary

Ramona High is a comprehensive public high school serving grades 9-12 to approximately 1,400 students in the Ramona City Unified district, representing a solid educational option in its region with a 4-star rating.

The school's standout strength is its exceptional 95% graduation rate and very low dropout rate, which significantly outperform both district and state averages. This is particularly impressive as over half of its students come from economically disadvantaged backgrounds. Academically, Ramona High's proficiency in English and Science exceeds both district and state averages, and it shows strong, improving support for specific groups like military-connected students and English learners. However, math proficiency and a chronic absenteeism rate of 25.3% remain key areas for improvement.

When compared to nearby comprehensive high schools like Rancho Bernardo High and Poway High, Ramona High achieves similar graduation success while serving a community with greater economic need. It also outperforms schools with similar demographics, such as Orange Glen High and El Capitan High, in overall ranking. The school's per-student spending is notably higher than these peers, which appears to support its strong graduation outcomes, though the academic results, especially in math, suggest room for more targeted resource use.
