For 2012, the base API score was 900, growing from a score of 883. Based on the 2011 API results, Scripps Ranch was a top performing comprehensive high school in the San Diego Unified School District, and the highest performing comprehensive high school in San Diego County, surpassing several fellow schools.[12]
Advanced Placement and honors
SRHS offers a variety of AP as well as honors classes in the sciences, world languages, arts, social studies and English. AP and honors classes are weighted on a 5-point scale.[13]
Language programs
SRHS offers several language programs including Spanish, American Sign Language (ASL), and Japanese. AP level classes are available for Spanish. Honors is available for fourth year Japanese.[14] The world language program has a blog showing the central information and events going on in SRHS language department. All classes are available for 2-year study or more.

95% of students attend some form of post-secondary school education. More specifically, according to the school principal, "60% of our students will be attending a 4-year university, 35% are going to a 2-year college and 5% will be serving their country in the military or pursuing other post high school options."[15]
Media

Scripps Ranch High School also has a weekly video broadcast for telling about school events, known as the Falcon Five Broadcast.
Controversies
SRHS "Twerk Team"
In mid 2013, 33 students were suspended[16] after a video show students Twerking was uploaded to YouTube (Original video has since been taken down). The students originally had their senior prom and graduation walking rights taken away from them as part of the suspension. Public outcry quickly followed the news of the student suspensions with the hashtag #FreeTheTwerkTeam [17]
Valedictorian speech
In 2015, the administration came under fire after the valedictorian was denied the right to speak at graduation for the Class of 2015. The decision resulted from an 18-year-old policy in which "all interested students audition for the right to be one of the commencement speakers - even the valedictorian", as reported by NBC.[18] The issue resulted in students putting together an online petition which gathered over 700 signatures asserting that she should be allowed to address her classmates as literally defined in the word "valedictorian".
AP Test Scores Cancellation
On June 30, 2017, school officials announced that due to seating violations, 540 students from Scripps Ranch need to retake their Advanced Placement exams in AP Calculus, AP Biology, AP United States History and five other subjects.[19] A total of 800 exams had been cancelled because of the test administrators' failure to ensure proper distance between students as ordained by the College Board. Hundreds of students and parents have filed complaints toward San Diego Unified, and the school board voted on July 6 to file a temporary restraining order on the College Board's decision.[20]
