Summary:
The 92270 zip code area is home to two schools - Rancho Mirage High School and Rancho Mirage Elementary School, both part of the Palm Springs Unified district. While the high school has a relatively large enrollment of 1,491 students, the elementary school is smaller with 309 students.
Rancho Mirage High School maintains a high 4-year graduation rate of 95.3%, but struggles with lower test scores, particularly in math, and a high chronic absenteeism rate of 31.9%. In contrast, Rancho Mirage Elementary School shows more promising academic performance, with 3rd-5th grade ELA and math proficiency often exceeding district and state averages, and strong 5th grade science scores. However, the elementary school also faces a high chronic absenteeism rate of 38.6%.
Both schools serve a high-need student population, with over 85% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. This socioeconomic challenge likely contributes to the academic performance gaps observed between the schools and their district and state counterparts. Addressing chronic absenteeism and implementing targeted interventions to support student learning could be key focus areas for improving outcomes in this zip code area.
