Summary

Piner High is a public high school in Santa Rosa, California, serving grades 9–12 in the Santa Rosa High district, with 1,434 students. Its graduation rate is strong at 96% in 2025–26, but chronic absenteeism was 27%, compared with 18% statewide. The clearest academic concern is math: just 16% of students were proficient, far below both the district and state.

ELA is Piner’s strongest subject compared with local schools, while math is its weakest. In 2025–26, 44% were proficient in ELA—2 percentage points above the district, though 6 below the state—and Piner ranked third among the six schools in its district. Math proficiency was 9 points below the district and 22 below the state; Piner ranked fourth of those six schools. The four other traditional comprehensive schools in the district averaged 22% in math, about 6 points higher than Piner. Science proficiency was 23%, below the district by 5 points and the state by 13.

Math and science proficiency have improved since 2022–23: math rose 8 percentage points, to 16%, and science rose 11 points, to 23%; ELA was nearly unchanged at 44%. SchoolDigger places Piner in the 37th percentile statewide, with 2 stars, a middle-of-the-pack standing. Context includes a 2024–25 student-teacher ratio of 21.2 and 64% of students eligible for free/reduced lunch. SchoolDigger’s subgroup rankings also show a notable difference for students receiving special education services: the group ranked in the 11th percentile in 2025–26, compared with Piner’s overall 37th percentile, down from the group’s 34th-percentile ranking in 2023–24. English learners ranked in the 67th percentile in 2023–24, compared with Piner’s overall 41st percentile that year; no newer ranking for this group is provided.
