High Schools in Winters Joint Unified

The Winters Joint Unified school district in California is home to two high schools: Winters High and Wolfskill High. While Winters High appears to be a relatively strong-performing school, Wolfskill High is struggling across multiple metrics, including low test scores, high dropout rates, and alarmingly high chronic absenteeism.

Winters High has a higher statewide ranking, ranging from 921 to 1175 out of over 2,300 California high schools, and boasts a very strong 96.9% four-year graduation rate. In contrast, Wolfskill High has ranked much lower, between 1886 and 2203 out of over 2,100 schools, and has a much lower 39.1% graduation rate. Winters High's test scores are generally higher than the district and state averages, while Wolfskill High's scores are well below those benchmarks.

Both schools have high percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively low-income student population. Wolfskill High in particular has an alarmingly high 97.3% chronic absenteeism rate, which is likely a major driver of its poor academic performance and low graduation rates. Winters High also has a relatively high 26.2% chronic absenteeism rate, which is an area for potential improvement.
