Summary

Windsor High is a large, comprehensive public high school serving approximately 1,700 students in grades 9-12 within the Windsor Unified district in Sonoma County, consistently ranking in the 60th-70th percentile of California high schools.

The school presents a distinctive profile, achieving exceptional student engagement with a 95.7% graduation rate and a low 11.6% chronic absenteeism rate that outperforms many peers, including Santa Rosa High. Academically, it shows a clear strength in English Language Arts, where proficiency significantly exceeds state averages, but faces persistent challenges in Mathematics and Science, where scores lag behind. Compared to higher-ranked Healdsburg High, Windsor achieves its strong graduation and attendance outcomes with significantly less funding per student.

Within its own district, Windsor High is the clear anchor institution, dramatically outperforming its smaller alternative programs like Windsor Oaks Academy and Big Picture Learning Windsor. The school has shown notable effectiveness with some student subgroups, such as Special Education students, though support for others, like English Language Learners, has been inconsistent year-to-year. Its performance stands in stark contrast to nearby continuation schools such as Ridgway High (Continuation), highlighting its role as the primary comprehensive high school in the area.
