Winters High School boasts a strong 96.9% 4-year graduation rate and low 0.8% dropout rate, while also performing above the Winters Joint Unified district and state averages in English Language Arts and Math proficiency. However, the school still has room for improvement, with a relatively high 26.2% chronic absenteeism rate.

The elementary and middle schools in the district generally perform below the state averages in English Language Arts and Math proficiency, which could indicate a need for curriculum or instructional improvements. Additionally, the high rates of free/reduced lunch recipients across all schools, ranging from 57.58% to 76%, suggest a relatively low-income student population that may require additional support and resources to address any socioeconomic challenges.
