Summary

Rim of the World High is a public high school serving 860 students in grades 9-12 in the mountain community of Lake Arrowhead, part of the Rim of the World Unified school district.

The school has a significant strength in ensuring students graduate, with a 94.1% graduation rate that outpaces both the district and state averages. In English Language Arts, its performance is solid and generally stronger than many nearby schools in the San Bernardino City Unified district. However, the school faces clear challenges, particularly in mathematics proficiency, where scores are low, and with chronic student absenteeism, which is higher than the state average. It's noteworthy that the school achieves these outcomes with lower per-student spending than most comparison schools, such as Cajon High and Mountain High.

When compared to nearby schools, Rim of the World High generally performs better than others with similar levels of economic disadvantage, especially against its closest peer, Mountain High. A key area for improvement is support for specific student groups, as performance in special education has been highly inconsistent year-to-year. Parents should be aware of the notable gap between the school's high graduation success and its middling test scores, which may indicate strong student support systems but also highlights core academic areas, especially math, that need attention.
