Summary:
The city of Yolo, California, contains one public high school, Cache Creek High (Continuation), which serves grades 9-12 and is part of the Woodland Joint Unified School District.
As a continuation school, Cache Creek High is designed for students who have faced significant challenges in traditional settings. This context is important when considering its performance. The school's academic proficiency rates in English, math, and science are substantially below both district and state averages, and it has a graduation rate of 65.8% and a high dropout rate of 18.4%. A critical factor is an extremely high chronic absenteeism rate of 86.1%, which presents a major barrier to learning. However, the school does have a low student-teacher ratio of 14.5 and spends more per student than the state average, indicating resources are being directed to support its specialized mission.
While the school's statewide ranking remains low, it has shown recent improvement, moving from the 3rd percentile in 2022-2023 to the 8th percentile in 2024-2025. The broader Woodland Joint Unified School District itself is ranked in the 34th percentile statewide, suggesting area-wide educational challenges. For parents, this single-school environment means understanding that Cache Creek High serves a specific, at-risk population, and its metrics reflect the profound difficulties of that mission, with attendance being the most urgent area needing support for any student success.
