Summary

Winters High is a public high school serving 479 students in grades 9-12 within the Winters Joint Unified district, and it has shown steady improvement in its statewide ranking over the last five years.

The school has significant strengths, including a high graduation rate of 94.4% and particularly strong performance in English Language Arts, where it outperforms its own district by a wide margin. However, it faces clear challenges in mathematics proficiency and has a chronic absenteeism rate higher than the state average. Interestingly, the school is very effective for certain groups of students, with male students, special education students, and English learners all performing at high levels according to state rankings, though there is a notable performance gap between male and female students that the school is likely addressing.

When compared to nearby schools, Winters High graduates students at a higher rate than most in the area, though a school like Buckingham Collegiate Charter Academy achieves higher test scores in both English and math. The school also spends more per student than some peers like Vacaville High or Dixon High. Within its own district, it serves as the primary academic pathway, performing far better than the alternative Wolfskill High.
