Summary

Woodlake High is a public high school serving about 650 students in grades 9-12 in the Woodlake Unified district, and it stands out for achieving strong results for its students despite significant economic challenges in the community.

The school's greatest strengths are its exceptional 95.5% graduation rate—which is higher than the state average—and its success in English Language Arts, where student proficiency beats both the district and state averages. It also does an excellent job keeping students in school, with a chronic absenteeism rate better than the state average. While math scores are an area for growth, the school is on a clear upward trend, improving its statewide ranking significantly over the past few years. It accomplishes this with notably lower per-student spending than many nearby alternative schools like Bravo Lake High and Kaweah High.

When compared to other local schools, Woodlake High's performance is impressive. It far outperforms other schools in its own district and nearby alternative schools. Even when compared to a higher-performing, less disadvantaged school like Exeter Union High, Woodlake keeps pace in graduation rates and attendance. This shows the school has effective systems to support student success and engagement, making it a compelling option for families in the area.
