Summary:
The Washington Unified school district in California consists of 12 schools, including 8 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 3 high schools. The district as a whole is ranked 1023 out of 1568 in California and is rated 2 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger, indicating room for improvement across the district.
A few schools stand out in the data. Washington Middle College High, a public charter high school, ranks 65 out of 2,323 California high schools and is rated 5 stars out of 5. It has an impressive 100% four-year graduation rate and 0% dropout rate. River City High is another high-performing public high school, ranking 648 out of 2,323 and rated 4 stars. It has a strong 92.7% four-year graduation rate and relatively low 5.3% dropout rate. In contrast, Yolo High struggles, with a 73.8% four-year graduation rate and a high 26.2% dropout rate.
The performance of the schools seems to be closely tied to the socioeconomic status of the student population, as measured by free/reduced lunch rates. Schools with the highest poverty rates, such as Westfield Village Elementary and Yolo High, tend to have the lowest test scores and graduation rates. Chronic absenteeism also appears to be a significant issue, with several schools reporting rates over 30%, which likely contributes to the low performance of some schools.
