Rancho Roundup Week 11

We have some great news to share! These past three years, post-pandemic, we have been on a journey to ensure we continue to provide a rigorous learning environment with strong academic, social-emotional, and community support.

The CAASPP scores have just been released. Of the 25 high schools in North County, we were one of seven that improved in English Language and Mathematics from last year's assessment. The schools compared to our academic schools and demographics are (in no particular order):

Escondido High

Del Norte High

San Marcos High

Ramona High

Mission Hills High

El Camino High

Valley Center High

Vista High School

Oceanside High

Orange Glen High

Fallbrook High

Mt. Carmel High

San Pasqual High

Mission Vista High

Westview High

Torrey Pines High

Canyon Crest Academy

Carlsbad High

San Dieguito Academy

Poway High

Sage Creek

La Costa Canyon

Rancho Bernardo

Del Lago Academy

We were the only high school to have double-digit gains in Mathematics.

Comparing us to the County of San Diego and the State, we far exceed those trends with the percentage of students who met or exceeded standards:

RBV ELA: 65.64% Math: 36.63%

SD County ELA: 59.44% Math: 31.88%

State of CA ELA: 55.73% Math: 27.90%

In December, we expect the state to release more good news on our work with the California Dashboard, which measures various other areas, including suspensions, attendance, English Learners growth, and graduation rate.

Congratulations to the surf team!!

They beat Pacific Ridge last Saturday 51-42. That puts us 1-1 in our series so far.

Here are the results:

Lucy Pendergrass in Longboard and Owen Scrivner in Bodyboard reached the finals and both received a fourth-place medal.

Philippe Germann made it to the Repechage heat in longboarding.

Evan Rossel and Jackson Poulter, who were in shortboarding, and CJ Sandru, who were in longboarding, all made it to the semifinals.

In shortboard, Charles Dean and Nathan Gomez advanced to the 1st round of the individuals.

These students also surfed in the contest. They didn't make it out of the first round, but they helped our team get the points to win against Pacific Ridge!
