Rancho Roundup - Week 15

Wishing you and your loved ones a joyful and restful Thanksgiving holiday.

No school: Monday, November 24th - Friday, November 28th.

All students return to school on Monday, December 1st.

Earlier this year, Rancho Buena Vista High School was recognized on the Educational Results Partnership Honor Roll for the second consecutive year. This recognition celebrated schools across California that continue to improve student achievement and ensure equity for all learners.

That great news has now been followed by another statewide milestone with the release of the 2025 California School Dashboard. The California School Dashboard uses colors to show how schools are performing. Blue is the highest, followed by Green, Yellow, Orange, and Red. Most schools aim to reach and maintain Blue or Green, which represent high achievement and positive growth. These colors make the greatest impact because they reflect both strong performance and improvement over time, showing that students are learning and systems are working.

RBV earned strong performance ratings that include:

• Green (High) in:

1. English Language Arts,
2. Mathematics,
3. Graduation Rate,
4. College and Career Readiness,
5. English Learner Progress, and
6. Suspension Rate

• Yellow (Medium) in Science (2025 marks the first year that Science has been included as a color-rated indicator on the California School Dashboard).

These results confirm that the systems recognized by ERP are producing sustained success. Our 90.4 percent graduation rate is the highest in more than a decade and shows steady progress across every student group.

Together, these recognitions affirm the strength of our students, staff, and families and reflect the ongoing commitment to learning, belonging, and achievement that defines RBV.

A key resource in fostering a safe and supportive school climate at RBV is PSST World, an anonymous reporting tool that empowers students to report safety concerns confidentially. Fear of retaliation often prevents students from speaking up, but PSST World provides a secure way to report bullying, cyberbullying, abuse, threats, self-harm, weapons, or other issues affecting school safety—without revealing their identity.

Students only need to provide their name if they wish to be contacted. To submit a report, click here or on the PSST World icon above. Explore the videos and resources on this page to learn more. Thank you for helping keep RBV and VUSD a safe place to learn and grow!

Please feel free to browse through the videos shown to the right of this page for more information. Also, additional resources are also linked below that will help you create a PSST shortcut on your device.

• Parking permits must be displayed. Drivers will be cited if they park without a valid permit in the student parking spot.

• Driving, scooters, e-bikes, bikes, and skateboards are not allowed on campus walkways.
