Summary

Windsor Oaks Academy is a very small public high school serving grades 9-12 with only 33 students in the Windsor Unified district, sharing a campus with other alternative programs like Big Picture Learning Windsor.

The school faces significant challenges, with academic proficiency in core subjects like English and Math below 17% and an alarmingly high chronic absenteeism rate of 86.4%, which is a primary concern for student success. Its graduation rate, while recently improving to 80.6%, is volatile and lags behind nearby schools like Windsor High (95.7%) and Healdsburg High (98.5%), and its dropout rate of 16.1% is much higher than the district average.

Despite having small class sizes and higher per-student spending than some comprehensive high schools like Santa Rosa High, these resources have not yet translated to strong outcomes. When compared to similar alternative schools such as Ridgway High (Continuation), Windsor Oaks Academy has a more difficult combination of high absenteeism and dropout rates, though recent data shows some signs of improvement in its state ranking and test scores.
