Summary

Woodlake High is a public school serving grades 9–12, with 646 students in Woodlake, California, and is part of Woodlake Unified. Its 2025–2026 graduation rate was 97%, compared with 88% statewide, and chronic absenteeism was 12%, down from 21% in 2021–2022. The clearest academic finding is that ELA is a strong point: 63% of students were proficient, well above both the state and district.

Woodlake’s ELA result was 14 percentage points above the state’s 49% and 21 points above the district’s 41%; it ranked second among six nearby schools with reported scores, behind Exeter Union High. Math is the biggest gap with the state: 20% proficiency was 18 points below the state and 5 points below the district, although it was 4 points above the nearby-school average and third-highest among six schools with scores. Science was 24%, 12 points below the state and nearly matching the district’s 24.4%; locally, it was 3 points above the nearby-school average and second among seven schools with reported results, behind Exeter Union High.

From 2022–2023 to 2025–2026, ELA rose 8 points and math rose 10, while science slipped 1 point. Over the same period, Woodlake’s state gap widened by 5 points in ELA and 6 in science, but narrowed by 6 in math. SchoolDigger rated the school at the 52nd statewide percentile with 3 stars in 2025–2026, down 12 percentile points from its 2023–2024 high; its student-teacher ratio was 19.3 in 2024–2025. That year, 87% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible, compared with an 82% average among nearby schools with the same reported measure. SchoolDigger’s measure for “White Students” was notably lower than its overall standing: 29th percentile and 1 star, versus 52nd percentile and 3 stars overall, a 47-point subgroup decline over two years. Its measure for “English Language Learner Students” also varied sharply, dropping from the 80th percentile in 2022–2023 to the 37th in 2023–2024; no current-year figure is reported.
