Summary:

The 92128 zip code in San Diego, California, is served by one high school, Rancho Bernardo High, a comprehensive school for grades 9-12 that is a consistent top performer within the highly-ranked Poway Unified School District.

Rancho Bernardo High stands out for its exceptional student support and outcomes, boasting a 97% graduation rate and a remarkably low 0.6% dropout rate, both of which significantly exceed state averages. The school maintains a strong statewide ranking, placing in the 91st percentile for the 2024-2025 year, and its students perform well above state averages in English, math, and science. The school's profile is supported by a student body with a relatively low rate of economic disadvantage and per-student spending that is moderately above average.

Key areas for the community to consider include a noticeable performance gap between subjects, with proficiency in English Language Arts being stronger than in Mathematics and Science, though all are well above state levels. Furthermore, the school's chronic absenteeism rate, while lower than the state average, is higher than the district's rate, which may be a factor in a slight multi-year dip in its statewide ranking percentile. Overall, this school is a high-achieving institution that aligns with the excellence of the Poway Unified district.
