Summary:

ZIP code 92270 has two Rancho Mirage High (grades 9–12; 1,401 students) and Rancho Mirage Elementary (grades K–5; 349 students), both in Palm Springs Unified. The clearest positive results are High’s graduation rate and Elementary’s 3rd-grade ELA, but achievement varies across grades and subjects, so neither school stands out as a consistent academic leader.

Rancho Mirage High stands out for graduation: 97% in 2025–2026, compared with 88% statewide, a 9-point advantage. Rancho Mirage Elementary’s strongest listed result was 3rd-grade ELA, where 53% were proficient versus 44% statewide, 9 points higher. Its sharpest shortfall was 4th-grade ELA: 22% versus 46%, 24 points lower. High’s 11th-grade ELA was close to the state but 1 point lower; its 11th-grade math was 12 points lower, and 10th-grade science was 18 points lower. Chronic absenteeism was elevated at both schools: 32% at High and 31% at Elementary, versus 18% statewide.

Recent all-grade test trends are mixed at High and declining at Elementary: from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, High gained 1 point in ELA and science but lost 1 point in math, while Elementary fell 2 points in ELA, 3 in math, and 8 in science; statewide results rose in all three subjects. SchoolDigger rates both schools 2 stars; its percentile rankings fell from 54 to 39 at High and from 65 to 40 at Elementary between 2023–2024 and 2025–2026. Their student-teacher ratios are similar—20.4 at High and 20.6 at Elementary. In 2024–2025, the reported free/reduced lunch eligible shares were 95% at High and 82% at Elementary; these are contextual figures, not explanations for school results. Because the schools serve different grades, all-grade test scores are not direct school-to-school comparisons.
