Has held the 98th-percentile line every tested year since 2019.
Most rating sites would stop at “82% proficient” and call it done. Dougherty Valley deserves a closer read. It sits at the 98th percentile of 1,647 California high schools — but the ranking is the least interesting thing on this page.
Dougherty Valley's low-income kids hit 75.4% proficiency in ELA — a number the same group reaches at 38.2% statewide. If you're trying to read past zip-code-driven test scores, that's the signal worth weighing.

Dougherty Valley High scores 88 of 100 on SchoolScope's Scope Score — the 98th percentile of 1,647 California high schools (CDE CAASPP 2025).
This school hasn't fully recovered from the pandemic: 82% meet the standard today, versus 92% in 2019 — a gap worth asking about on a visit.

Worth a school visit
Ask what the school is working on next. Strong numbers tell you where a school is, not where it's going.
- Ask whether extra support — tutoring, counseling, small groups — reaches kids across income lines, not just the students already ahead.
- Ask whether the tour can step into a working classroom — watch how the teacher handles a student who's stuck.
- Ask to tour while school's in session, and notice how hallways and transitions feel — culture shows up between classes, not just in them.
- Ask how the school communicates with families when a child starts to struggle.
- Ask what a typical day looks like for a new student in the first few weeks.
Questions
Frequently asked questions
Is Dougherty Valley High a good high school?
Dougherty Valley High has a Scope Score of 88 out of 100, placing it in the 98th percentile of California high schools and ranked #28 statewide. 54.3% of students exceeded the state standard on the 2025 CAASPP assessment, which is 34.4 percentage points above the California average of 19.8%. The Scope Score weights 7 dimensions for high schools: graduation rate (25%), exceeded standard (22%), college/career readiness (20%), met or exceeded (proficient) (18%), chronic absenteeism (5%), suspension rate (5%), and ELPAC English Learner proficiency (5%). Data source: California Department of Education CAASPP 2025, analyzed by SchoolScope.
What are Dougherty Valley High's CAASPP test scores?
On the 2025 CAASPP Smarter Balanced Assessment, 81.7% of students at Dougherty Valley High met or exceeded the state standard in ELA and Math combined, and 54.3% exceeded it. The gap between those numbers matters: 27.4% of students are at the proficiency floor, while 54.3% went beyond it. Most rating sites report only the combined "proficient" number. SchoolScope surfaces the exceeded-vs-met split because it shows how many students go beyond the standard rather than only meeting it. 1,349 student-subject combinations were assessed.
How does Dougherty Valley High rank in California?
Dougherty Valley High ranks #28 among California high schools by Scope Score, placing it in the 98th percentile. This ranking is based on a weighted composite of 2025 CAASPP test performance (exceeded and met rates), chronic absenteeism, and suspension rate. Unlike single-number ratings, the Scope Score shows what drives the ranking so parents can decide what matters most to their family. See full methodology.
What is the attendance and school culture like at Dougherty Valley High?
7.8% of students at Dougherty Valley High are chronically absent (missing 10% or more of school days), which is better than the California average of 23.1%. The suspension rate is 1.3%, indicating a low-discipline-incident environment. SchoolScope includes these culture metrics in the Scope Score because they reflect day-to-day school experience in ways test scores alone cannot.
How does Dougherty Valley High compare to other schools in San Ramon?
Dougherty Valley High scores 88/100 (98th percentile) among California high schools. To compare with nearby schools, SchoolScope shows the same metrics side by side: exceeded rate, proficiency, growth trajectory, and school culture indicators. The school serves 3,039 students. Use the schools in San Ramon page or the map view to compare all high schools nearby.
How does Dougherty Valley High serve low-income and underrepresented students?
At Dougherty Valley High in San Ramon, 75.4% of low-income students met or exceeded the ELA standard in 2025, compared to 59.8% district-wide and 38.2% statewide. Dougherty Valley High outperforms its district average for low-income students by 15.6 percentage points in ELA. Other subgroups: Low-Income students (54.2% Math proficient); Asian students (87.3% ELA proficient). The largest proficiency gap is 55.8 percentage points for disabilities students. Data source: California Department of Education, CAASPP 2024-25. 57 students tested. SchoolScope shows disaggregated test scores by demographic subgroup so you can see how a school performs for your child's specific group — not just the school-wide average. Subgroup data is context, not part of the Scope Score: we don't penalize schools for who they serve. See our equity approach.
What AP courses are offered at Dougherty Valley High?
Dougherty Valley High's teachers are authorized to teach 28 of the 40 AP subjects the College Board offers, per the 2025 - 2026 AP Course Audit: 2-D Art and Design, 3-D Art and Design, Art History, Biology, Calculus AB, Calculus BC, Chemistry, Chinese Language and Culture, Comparative Government and Politics, Computer Science A, Drawing, English Language and Composition, English Literature and Composition, Environmental Science, European History, French Language and Culture, Macroeconomics, Microeconomics, Music Theory, Physics C: Mechanics, Psychology, Research, Seminar, Spanish Language and Culture, Statistics, U.S. Government and Politics, United States History, World History: Modern. Authorization means the school may teach a course, not that a section is running this year, and it's separate from AP exam pass rates. Data source: College Board AP Course Audit, analyzed by SchoolScope.
How many students from Dougherty Valley High go to UC?
In fall 2025, 267 Dougherty Valley High graduates enrolled at University of California campuses, universitywide. That figure can't be split into a per-campus sum — students apply to several UC campuses at once, so campus-level counts don't add up to the universitywide total. UC is one destination among many: this says nothing about graduates who chose a CSU, a private college, a community college, or work, and it is a count, not a rate or a ranking. Data source: University of California Office of the President (UC Information Center), fall 2025 admissions cycle.

A closer look at the evidence
Dougherty Valley High: reading the evidence
Dougherty Valley posts 54.3% exceeding the standard — versus 19.8% statewide — with climate numbers better than most. That doesn't make it perfect. It makes it worth a visit to find what numbers can't measure.
Subject proficiency describes tested students, while graduation describes a graduating cohort. These figures are not successive stages followed by the same students.
Ask what happens for a kid who shows up behind — a high ceiling for the top can sit right next to thin support at the bottom, and the score alone won't show you which.
