School Overview

Banning High sits in the San Gorgonio Pass, a small desert community nestled between the San Bernardino Mountains and the sprawling Coachella Valley — a part of Inland Southern California that feels a world away from the coastal suburbs. Academics here are a work in progress, with scores in English and math below state midpoints, though science shows more promise and reflects a school still finding its footing. Families rooted in this tight-knit, working-class community who are invested in being active partners in their kids' education may find the most success here, particularly those willing to seek out enrichment opportunities beyond the classroom.
