Summary:

In zip code 92262, there is one public high school, Palm Springs High, serving grades 9-12 within the Palm Springs Unified School District.

This school presents a mixed academic profile, with a notable strength in English where student proficiency exceeds both district and state averages. However, it faces significant challenges in mathematics and science, with proficiency rates notably below state benchmarks. Despite these academic struggles in specific subjects, the school excels in keeping students on track to graduate, boasting a graduation rate well above the state average and a very low dropout rate.

A major area of concern is chronic student absenteeism, which is substantially higher than the state average and likely impacts learning. The school's overall state ranking has also declined over the past three years. It serves a student population with very high economic need, and it operates with a per-student spending level that is considerable, though outcomes in core subjects suggest these resources face significant challenges.
