GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Ive had a great time in Rancho, its very safe and has an inclusive environment. The teachers are so strict either, they keep everyone in check and they treat us as adults and listen to our needs. They have meeting to see how to better the school twice a week, I really do enjoy Rancho and how much effort they put into the betterment of the school.

The teachers at Rancho really connect with the students on a personal level and I think it's one of the best things about Rancho because not everybody is the same. They'll change their teaching just to benefit their students. They'll reach out to you and talk to you about things that others wouldn't care about or wouldn't be able to handle.

Rancho gives students multiple opportunities to create a better future for themselves. Teachers also support students and create a good learning environment. I think that college readiness can be applied a bit heavier and with more urgency than it is currently, but the college counselor is really helpful when it comes to searching for a college that you like.

There has been no certified special education teacher at RCHS for 1.5 years!!! Two quit over the summer and they never notified the families. And all of this was after the abysmal excuse for education during 2020 when teachers just didn't teach. Special ed kids (and all kids) need to be in a classro...

Literally the definition of bullying. Coming to school was so miserable and there were times mentally I went to dark places. I get it teenagers are mean. But this was a whole other level of cruel

I have two students in 10th grade and I teach in the district. I had always heard the reputation of Rancho so was nervous about going there but I am so glad we did! There is never anything that is perfect but my girls are incredibly happy there and are learning and growing. They are AP and Honors cl...
