Rancho Bernardo High School, or RBHS, is a public high school in the Poway Unified School DistrictofSan Diego County, California, United States. Rancho Bernardo High School was opened in 1991 as the district's third high school.
For the 2019-2020 school year, about 2,300 students attended Rancho Bernardo High School.[7] When divided by class, 609 students were in 9th grade, 580 in 10th, 581 in 11th, and 582 in 12th. The student body is 46.6% White, 22.7% Asian, 16.3% Hispanic or Latino, 2.3% African American, 0.5% Native Hawaiian or Pacific Islander, and 0.1% Native American or Alaska Native.[citation needed]
In a 1997 incident, three baseball players pleaded guilty to sodomizing a new teammate with a broom handle in the locker room after a game. The school district paid $675,000 to settle the claim and the three players were sentenced to time in juvenile hall. The students stated there was a tradition of hazing in which older team members would threaten to rape incoming freshmen players or would perform simulated rape.[9]
In April 2002, one of the school's assistant principals forced female students at a school dance to lift their clothing and expose their underwear, in search of G-strings and thongs. The district said the reason for the check was to "ensure appropriate school dress."[10] Rita Wilson, the assistant principal involved in this incident, was later demoted to a teaching position.[11]
On January 30, 2024, a student of the school was arrested after "showing concerning videos and making threatening statements against the school". The student's father was arrested after unregistered destructive devices, and supplies for manufacturing privately made firearms were found at the family's home.[12]
