Moving to California from the MidWest we really expected more when everyone bragged so much about the schools. The teachers are more focused on careers and administration paychecks. It all looks good and they have everything in place to be the best but drop the ball when it comes to inspiring students. They would rather crush them to make it look like it is hard than teach them and help them achieve difficult goals. Really miss the MidWest teachers that really care and make high school a prep for college than pretending they are one.

My daughter has attended this school for 3 years now. She takes honors and AP classes and her teachers have been great for the exception of two. For the most part teachers seem to care for the students and will tutor them if needed. I like the diversity in the students and there are also clubs for pretty much anything your child is interested in. If your kid is into sports they have good athletic programs. Overall I am happy with the quality of education she is getting here. I actually belong to another school district but she likes her school so much that we drive 20 minutes each way. Rancho is a great school with good teachers and staff.

I LOVED RCHS for my son. He made great friends and had wonderful teachers. A few teachers were a bit strange but you find that everywhere. We will miss Mr. Oduro for our younger boys since he left to a new school. He was a great leader and the kids loved him. We feel very lucky to be at RCHS and can feel our kids are in a safe and nurturing public high school. Not an easy thing to find in Southern California!

I went to this school for only three months but I have to say that it is the best school in California. The students are friendly and the staff is always there to help. They have outstanding sports and teachers. The teachers that i had were the best that Rancho had.And i give everyone at Rancho a big hand for another outstanding year. keep up the great work. You stay classy Rancho.

This school is a number 1 rankekd school in the whole entire state from its acedemics sports and its outrages SPIRIT. This school is currently neck-to-neck with its rivalry school Los Osos. They both are fine schools in the whole area but by anyone who lives around here knows that Rancho Cucamonga High School is a much much better high school for students to attend. In 2010 RCHS had an API score of 817 now with the students and staff committing to this school they saw a 19 point gain in their API score for 2011 which is 836. LOHS had an API score of 840 in 2010 now they had a decrease in their test score which is now 837 in 2011. Rancho Cucamonga High School and Los Osos High School both have the highest API score's in the entire Inland Empire. With the improvement at RCHS there API score is set to fly this upcoming year and pass LOHS's API score. They both are good schools but by anyone in this area Rancho Cucamonga High School would be the best pick in a school for your student to attend to.

We have only had grief with this school. You have to know to ask for everything. They volunteer zero information. My kids are getting an education but not without major parental guidance and protection.

This is our third child to attend RCHS in the past ten years. We are as pleased with Rancho this year as we were when we began. Mr. Oduro is an amazing leader who values his students and staff.

My son is a 9th grader who has always struggled in school. I advised my sons counselor upon enrollment as well as his teachers at open house. They all immediately stepped in and provided me with resources for him and in-school parenting classes for me. Thx RCHS

I am an alumni of this school and believe that it is an excellent place to learn and develop lasting friendships. The teachers and staff are terrific and are truly devoted to each students success. I am thrilled that Mr. Kern Oduro is the Principal of this school. I was fortunate enough to be in his Natural Science II class. He is an amazing person who has dedicated many years to his students at RCHS and has proven to be an integral figure achieving school's mission.

I have two sons attending Rancho Cucamonga. We are from the south and I can say that my experience at Rancho has been refreshing. They have some of the sweetest inclusive tolerant children I have met. The staff is friendly and it feels like a family there. My sons both play football and the team spirit at Rancho is unbelievable. Maybe that is why they are heading to CIF championship!! Thanks Rancho staff and students...well done.

I am a parent of 2 RCHS students one graduated last year and another in sophomore. My experience with RCHS over-all is great. We met a lady in the school parking lot and we thought she was lost come to find out she was checking out the school. My daughter's response to her was this is the best non-threatening inter-racial school you can send your kid to. Here all the students are encouraged to excel and reach for the highest goal in life no matter what your skin color or race is. Best teachers good students friendly staff. Keep up the good work!

This school is unsatisfactory it is un organized and over populated. The staff is unfriendly and very rude. I do not recommend this school. Los Osos High School is right up the street and has higher test scores and friendlyer staff.

I just graduated from RCHS in June and just want to say that being at this school was probably one of the greatest experiences in education so far. The teachers are excellent there and the programs such as band drama choir ROTC and others are well respected throughout the community.Compared to the other schools in the city Rancho has the highest diversity rate there.
