What Scripps Ranch High School does

Scripps Ranch High School (SRHS) is a public high school serving grades 9-12 within the San Diego Unified School District (SDUSD), located at 10410 Falcon Way in the Scripps Ranch neighborhood of San Diego, California. The school operates as a government/state entity under SDUSD governance, with a leadership team led by Principal Matthew Lawson, Associate Principal Ashley Gay, Vice Principal Amy Hines, and supporting coordinators and counselors. SRHS delivers a comprehensive college-preparatory curriculum including AP courses across approximately 39 subjects, honors classes, and Career Technical Education (CCTE) pathways with articulated community college courses. The academic platform is supported by standard district-managed educational technology: PowerSchool for student information, Canvas for learning management, Google Workspace for Education, Clever for single sign-on, and Xello for career and college planning.

Beyond academics, SRHS operates an extensive extracurricular portfolio including seasonal athletics teams, Visual and Performing Arts programs (Marching Band, Concert Band, Choir, Color Guard, Drama, Orchestra, Journalism, Yearbook), ASB student leadership, AFJROTC, the Little Falcons Pre-School program, and approximately 50 student-led clubs. Student support services include counseling, Mental Health and Wellness Services (Wellness Together, SchooLink Medi-Cal providers, CYBHI-funded clinicians), and the student-produced Falcon 5 News YouTube broadcast.

The business model is non-commercial: SRHS is funded through state per-pupil funding, local property taxes, and federal education grants distributed via SDUSD, with no tuition charged to district residents. Supplemental funding flows through the SRHS Foundation, a separate nonprofit that runs fundraising events such as Sips for Scripps. The school has earned National Blue Ribbon School, California Distinguished School, California Honor Roll School, U.S. News Best High Schools Silver Medal, and a six-year WASC accreditation. The Class of 2019 produced 3 National Merit Scholarship Winners and 98 California Scholarship Federation Life Members.
