Summary:
Zip code 95697 has one high school, Cache Creek High (Continuation), serving grades 9–12 and enrolling 142 students. In 2025–2026, chronic absenteeism was 80%, compared with 23% in Woodland Joint Unified and 18% statewide; the school’s graduation rate was 65% (26 percentage points below the district), and its dropout rate was 15% (11 points above the district). The most important concern for parents to explore is the very high absenteeism rate, alongside weaker graduation and higher dropout rates than district and state figures.
Because this ZIP code has only one listed high school, there is no meaningful local top-or-bottom comparison. The school’s test proficiency was below both district and state results in every reported subject in 2025–2026: 3% in English language arts (ELA), versus 41% in the district and 49% statewide; 3% in math, versus 26% and 38%; and 2% in science, versus 30% and 36%. The widest state gap was in ELA, at 46 percentage points. SchoolDigger ranked Cache Creek 2,050th of 2,137 schools, at the 4th percentile, with 0 stars, placing it near the bottom statewide.
Results moved farther behind state performance in all three subjects between 2024–2025 and 2025–2026. ELA proficiency fell from 9% to 3%, and math from 5% to 3%; science rose from 1% to 2%, but the state’s science result increased faster, so the gap widened. SchoolDigger’s percentile ranking improved from 6th in 2023–2024 to 8th in 2024–2025, then fell to 4th in 2025–2026; it awarded 0 stars in all three years. In 2024–2025, the student–teacher ratio was 14.5, and 84% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible. These figures describe the school, not what explains its results.
