Washington Unified

Summary:

The Washington Unified school district in West Sacramento serves about 8,000 students across 11 schools, including eight K-8 elementary schools and three high schools, with performance varying dramatically from some of the state's best to some of its most challenged.

Standout schools include the exceptional Washington Middle College High, which ranks in the top 6% of California high schools with perfect graduation rates, and Bridgeway Island Elementary, the district's top elementary. In contrast, Yolo High and Westmore Oaks Elementary face severe challenges, ranking in the bottom 5% of schools statewide with very low test scores and, at Yolo High, an extremely high chronic absenteeism rate of over 86%.

Overall, the district's graduation rate is strong, but academic proficiency, especially in math, lags behind state averages. The wide performance gap suggests families should look closely at individual school data, as the educational experience can differ significantly within the same district, with chronic absenteeism and varying program models being key factors in these outcomes.
