Summary

Winters High serves 479 students in grades 9–12 in Winters, California, and is part of Winters Joint Unified. The school combines a high graduation rate—98% in 2025–2026, compared with 88% statewide and 89% districtwide—with chronic absenteeism of 24%, above the state’s 18% and the district’s 16%. The clearest academic concern is mathematics: just 10% of students were proficient, versus 38% statewide and 19% districtwide.

ELA is a relative strength against state and district benchmarks, but not a standout among nearby high schools: 51% were proficient, compared with 49% statewide and 32% districtwide, and the result was third among five nearby grade 9–12 schools with reported scores. Those four nearby schools averaged 53% in ELA. Math is the sharpest weakness in the nearby comparison too: Winters scored below Esparto High, Vacaville High, Buckingham Collegiate Charter Academy, and Dixon High. Science was 25% proficient—above the district’s 23%, but below the state’s 36% and the nearby-school average of 30%. Nearby averages reflect four grade 9–12 schools with reported results.

ELA has risen from 34% in 2022–2023 to 51% in 2025–2026, though it fell from 58% the prior year; math declined from 13% to 10% over the same period, while its gap to the state widened from 22 to 28 percentage points. Winters High is ranked at the 39th percentile and has 2 stars from SchoolDigger, down 18 percentile points from the previous year. Its student–teacher ratio was 17.1 in 2024–2025, lower than five of seven nearby schools with reported ratios. In 2024–2025, 61% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible; California is identified as a statewide free-meals state, which is relevant context for that measure. SchoolDigger’s ranking for Special Education Students was at the 89th percentile in 2023–2024, compared with the school’s overall 56th percentile that year, suggesting stronger relative standing for this group. Its Migrant Students ranking rose from the 22nd percentile in 2023–2024 to the 88th in 2024–2025. These subgroup rankings are relative SchoolDigger measures, not proficiency rates.
