Woodland Senior High

Summary:

Woodland Senior High is a public high school located in Woodland, California, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 1,188 students. The school is part of the Woodland Joint Unified School District, which is ranked 997 out of 1,568 districts in California and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Woodland Senior High has seen fluctuations in its statewide ranking, ranging from 553 out of 1,290 high schools in 2020-2021 (rated 3 stars) to 1,533 out of 2,348 high schools in 2022-2023 (rated 2 stars), indicating average performance compared to other California high schools. The school has performed better with Hispanic and English Language Learner students, ranking in the top 50% of California high schools, but has struggled with Asian, White, Special Education, and Military Connected student groups, ranking in the bottom 25%. While Woodland Senior High maintains a relatively high four-year graduation rate, its dropout rate has increased from 0.9% in 2018-2019 to 2.8% in 2022-2023, higher than the state average. Additionally, the school has experienced fluctuations in its chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 13.2% in 2020-2021 to 34.7% in 2021-2022, indicating a significant portion of the student population is missing a substantial amount of instructional time.

Woodland Senior High's performance is generally on par with or slightly below its nearby counterparts, such as Pioneer High and Cache Creek High (Continuation). However, the nearby Da Vinci Charter Academy, which is part of the Davis Joint Unified School District, significantly outperforms Woodland Senior High across various metrics, including test scores, graduation rates, and chronic absenteeism. This suggests that there may be opportunities for Woodland Senior High to learn from and collaborate with higher-performing schools to improve its overall academic outcomes and support the diverse needs of its student population, which includes a high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
