Summary

Wheatland Union High is a public high school in Wheatland, California, serving grades 9–12 with 1,063 students. Completion and attendance are bright spots: about 99% of students graduate, compared with 88% statewide, and chronic absenteeism is 14%, below the state’s 18%. The main concern is proficiency: math is 15 percentage points below the state, and science is 8 points below.

English is the school’s strongest subject against state and district results: 54% of students are proficient, compared with 49% statewide and in the Wheatland Union High district. Among the five traditional local high schools, Wheatland ranks third in English, behind Marysville High and Lincoln High. Math is a relative local strength: Wheatland’s 23% proficiency is second among the five, ahead of the nearby-school average of 16% and the district’s 21%, but well below the state’s 38%. Science proficiency is 28%, about level with the nearby-school average and above the district’s 26%, but below California’s 36%; Wheatland ranks third locally.

Results have weakened since 2022–23: English and math each fell about 9 percentage points, and science fell 6, while state results rose over the same period. SchoolDigger ranks Wheatland 1,033rd of 2,137 California schools, at the 52nd percentile and 3 stars for 2025–26, down from the 76th percentile in 2022–23; its student-teacher ratio is 20.3, and 75% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–25.
