Summary

Yolo High is a small grades 9–12 school in West Sacramento, serving 75 students in Washington Unified. In 2025–26, 85% of students were chronically absent, compared with 22% districtwide and 18% statewide; the school’s graduation rate was 70%, the lowest among nearby schools with current-year data. Attendance and completion stand out as the school’s most urgent concerns.

Test proficiency was low in every subject: 9% in English language arts (ELA), 3% in math and 0% in science. These rates were 40, 35 and 36 percentage points below state results, and 30, 25 and 27 points below district results, respectively. Compared with nine nearby schools reporting results, Yolo had the lowest ELA and science rates and the second-lowest math rate, above only American Legion High. Math is Yolo’s strongest subject relative to state and district benchmarks because its shortfall is smallest there; science is weakest against those benchmarks.

Yolo’s ELA proficiency improved over four years, from 4% in 2022–23 to 9% in 2025–26, and its gap with the state narrowed. Math rose from 0% to 3%, but the state’s results also increased; science remained at 0% as the state improved, widening that gap. SchoolDigger placed Yolo at the 5th percentile statewide with zero stars in 2025–26, the lowest standing among 10 nearby schools with rank data; Washington Unified was at the 27th percentile with one star. Yolo also had the nearby group’s smallest enrollment (75, compared with 130 at the next-smallest school) and second-lowest student-teacher ratio, 10.7 in 2024–25. In that school year, 89% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible, compared with a nearby-school average of 67%. These figures describe the school’s context; they do not explain its results.
