Summary:

Windsor High is a public high school located in Windsor, California, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 1,603 students. The school is part of the Windsor Unified School District, which is ranked 963 out of 1,568 districts in California and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Windsor High has consistently maintained high four-year graduation rates, ranging from 94.0% in 2018-2019 to 97.2% in 2022-2023, significantly higher than the state average and the Windsor Unified School District's overall graduation rates. The school's dropout rates have also been relatively low, ranging from 2.2% in 2019-2020 to 4.3% in 2018-2019, lower than the state and district averages. However, Windsor High has experienced an increase in chronic absenteeism, from 10.6% in 2017-2018 to 19.3% in 2021-2022, though still lower than the state average of 14.7% in 2022-2023. In terms of test scores, Windsor High outperformed the Windsor Unified School District and the state of California in the percentage of students proficient or better in Smarter Balanced Assessments/English Language Arts/Literacy for both 11th grade and End of Course, but performed below the state average in Smarter Balanced Assessments/Mathematics and CAST/Science.

Compared to nearby schools, Windsor High performs better than Windsor Oaks Academy in graduation rates, dropout rates, and test scores, but lags behind higher-performing schools like Maria Carrillo High and Analy High. Additionally, Windsor High has a relatively high percentage of free and reduced-lunch recipients, around 46-47% in recent years, suggesting a significant population of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, which may impact academic performance. The school also faces challenges in addressing disparities among student subgroups, with female and White students generally performing better than their male and Hispanic counterparts, and English Language Learners and Special Education students having the lowest statewide rankings.

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.
