Summary:
Washington Unified has 11 schools: eight serving grades K–8 and three high schools, with no stand-alone middle schools. In 2025–2026, the equal-weighted school averages were about 38% proficient in ELA, 26% in math, and 28% in science, all below state rates of 49%, 38%, and 36%. The most important finding is how sharply results differ from school to school.
Washington Middle College High led all schools in every subject, with 86% proficient in ELA, 50% in math, and 63% in science—36, 12, and 27 percentage points above state rates. At the other end, Yolo High had 9% in ELA, 3% in math, and 0% in science, below state rates by 40, 35, and 36 points. Among K–8 schools, Bridgeway Island led with 59% ELA, 49% math, and 38% science. Riverbank and Westmore Oaks were near the low end, each below the state in all three subjects.
Recent changes were mixed: from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, the school average was nearly flat in ELA, up about 1 point in math, and up about 3 points in science; the average gaps with state results edged wider. SchoolDigger ranks Washington Middle College High in the 93rd percentile statewide, while Yolo High is in the 5th percentile. Ratios do not neatly track results: the top-scoring school had 24.1 students per teacher, while Yolo had 10.7. Bridgeway Island and Stonegate had similar free/reduced lunch eligible shares in 2024–2025—43% and 42%—yet Bridgeway scored higher in all three subjects. Small enrollments and differing grade spans mean school-level comparisons should be read with care.
