Students who enter the District’s schools come from diverse experiences in ten elementary districts spread across the western part of the county. Strong parent and community support for education is evident as WSCUHSD students traditionally surpass state and national averages in academic achievement tests and college entrance exams. One-third of district students transfer to the District from neighboring areas attracted by arts, culinary, debate, college prep, agriculture, and student activities. Approximately 80% of the District graduates go on to attend a community college, four-year college, or business/trade school. WSCUHSD is an Equal Opportunity Employer.
