Summary

Rim of the World High serves 860 students in grades 9–12 in Lake Arrowhead, a mountain community in San Bernardino County. In 2025–2026, about 49% of students were proficient in ELA, 19% in math and 36% in science; graduation was 93%, though chronic absenteeism was 29%. The clearest academic concern is math: its proficiency rate was 19 percentage points below the state average and 6 points below the district.

Compared with nearby schools, Rim is strong in all three tested subjects: it ranks second in ELA and math and first in science among the 10 schools, and its results exceed the nearby-school averages of 33% in ELA, 13% in math and 20% in science. Science is close to the state average and 5 points above the district; ELA is essentially at the state level and 14 points above the district. In contrast, math is well below both benchmarks, despite its high local standing. Graduation is another bright spot: Rim’s rate was 5 points above the state and 6 points above the Rim of the World Unified rate. Absenteeism was 10 points above the state and close to the district.

Science has improved recently: proficiency rose 10 points from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026. Over the three years from 2022–2023 to 2025–2026, science rose 4 points, math rose 1, and ELA fell 6; ELA’s earlier lead over the state has disappeared. SchoolDigger gives Rim 3 stars and a 51st-percentile ranking, second among nearby schools behind Cajon High. Its 19.6 students per teacher is near the local average of 18.5. In 2024–2025, 61% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible—the lowest reported share among nearby schools; California provides free meals to all students, so this eligibility measure is not a measure of meal access. SchoolDigger’s statewide ranking for White students was at the 30th percentile, below Rim’s overall 51st, indicating a weaker relative standing for this group. Its ranking for Special Education Students swung from the 6th percentile in 2024–2025 to the 38th in 2025–2026.
