Summary:
This analysis covers five public schools within the Winters Joint Unified district in zip code 95694 (Winters, CA), serving about 1,635 students from kindergarten through high school in a district that ranks in the bottom 35th percentile statewide.
Winters High stands out as the district's academic leader with a 94.4% graduation rate and English scores above the state average, while Wolfskill High, a much smaller alternative school, shows severe challenges with a 40% graduation rate and 96.8% chronic absenteeism. Among the younger grades, Shirley Rominger Intermediate has the strongest elementary performance in science and math, and the lowest chronic absenteeism at 14%.
The district faces consistent challenges in mathematics, with all schools scoring below state averages. Winters Middle appears to be a particular bottleneck, ranked in the 21st percentile. The wide variation in outcomes between schools, especially the two high schools, suggests opportunities for the district to share successful strategies and redesign interventions for struggling students.
