Best Public Schools in Woodland, CA

Summary:

The city of Woodland, California is home to 17 schools, including 11 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, 3 high schools, and 1 alternative school, all part of the Woodland Joint Unified School District except for the alternative school, which is part of the Yolo County Office of Education. The data reveals a mix of high-performing and underperforming schools, with Zamora Elementary, Spring Lake Elementary, and Plainfield Elementary standing out as the top-performing elementary schools in the district.

On the other hand, several schools, such as Dingle Elementary, T.L. Whitehead Elementary, and Rhoda Maxwell Elementary, struggle with low academic achievement, high chronic absenteeism, and socioeconomic challenges. The data suggests a strong correlation between socioeconomic status and academic performance, with the higher-performing schools tending to have lower percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.

Overall, the Woodland Joint Unified School District faces systemic challenges, as it is ranked 969 out of 1,560 districts in California and rated only 2 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger. Addressing the disparities in academic performance and improving the overall quality of education across the district appears to be a significant priority for the community.
