Summary

Citrus Valley High is a large, well-regarded public high school serving approximately 2,110 students in grades 9-12 within the Redlands Unified school district, consistently ranking in the top 20-30% of schools statewide.

The school demonstrates significant strengths, particularly in supporting vulnerable student groups; it excels in educating homeless students, English learners, and students from low-income families, often outperforming even higher-ranked schools in these areas. Academically, it provides a balanced education, with student proficiency in English Language Arts (67%) notably exceeding state averages and math performance (46%) also being solid, though science scores are an area for improvement. With a 94% graduation rate and lower chronic absenteeism than many neighbors, Citrus Valley is a stable and reliable choice, especially when compared to some schools in the neighboring San Bernardino City Unified district which face greater challenges.

Within its own district, Citrus Valley holds a strong middle position, performing slightly below the top-tier Redlands Senior High but ahead of Redlands East Valley High. Parents should note a recent concerning decline in the school's effectiveness for Special Education students, and its science proficiency lags behind other subjects. Overall, the school is a consistently high-performing option that successfully serves a large and economically diverse student body within a supportive district.
