Summary:
The 95988 zip code area is home to 6 schools serving students from elementary through high school, with the majority operated by the Willows Unified School District. While the top-performing Willows High School and public charter Walden Academy show promising results, the data reveals significant challenges across the district, including high chronic absenteeism rates, low test scores, and a large percentage of economically disadvantaged students.
Willows High School stands out as the top performer, with a 97.6% four-year graduation rate and test scores exceeding the district and state averages. In contrast, Willows Community High struggles with an 81.3% chronic absenteeism rate and low test scores. The public charter Walden Academy also demonstrates higher academic achievement, particularly in English Language Arts, compared to the traditional public schools in the area.
Across the district, high rates of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 55.73% at Walden Academy to over 90% at Willows Community High, suggest that socioeconomic factors may be a significant barrier to student success. Additionally, the data for Glenn County Special Education, an alternative school, indicates unique challenges in supporting student achievement at these types of institutions.
