Summary:

The Windsor Unified school district serves roughly 3,500 students across seven public schools, from kindergarten through high school, in a district ranked in the lower half statewide.

Among these schools, Windsor High stands out as the top performer with a 96% graduation rate, strong English scores, and the best attendance record. In contrast, the two elementary schools, Cali Calmecac Language Academy and Brooks Elementary, rank in the bottom quarter of California schools, though Windsor Middle shows recent improvement. The district offers several alternative options, including the fully online Sonoma County Virtual Academy and smaller programs like Big Picture Learning Windsor, which has perfect attendance.

Key challenges for the area include mathematics, where no school exceeds 34% proficiency, and stark differences in alternative school outcomes, with Windsor Oaks Academy facing significant attendance and academic hurdles. Overall, while the high school excels, families should note the performance gaps in elementary education and the varied results from the district's specialized programs.
