Summary:
The Willows Unified school district in California consists of 4 schools, including 1 elementary school, 1 middle school, and 2 high schools (one regular and one alternative). The district as a whole faces significant challenges, with most schools performing well below state averages on key metrics.
Willows High School appears to be the strongest performer in the district, with the highest statewide ranking, graduation rate, and test scores, particularly in English Language Arts. In contrast, the Willows Community High School, an alternative high school, is struggling with very low enrollment, a concerning graduation rate, and alarmingly high chronic absenteeism.
The district as a whole faces systemic challenges, with low overall performance and high rates of economic disadvantage among students. Addressing chronic absenteeism, improving test scores, and providing targeted support for economically disadvantaged students should be priorities for the district. The alternative high school in particular requires urgent intervention to address its alarming outcomes.
