Shared campus · © OpenStreetMap

Sonoma County Virtual Academy, Big Picture Learning Windsor and Windsor Oaks Academy share this address in the state’s school directory. The California School Campus Database maps the grounds as one campus. Which buildings each school uses here isn’t mapped.

The California School Campus Database records Windsor High on this campus too; it gives each school the whole campus, so this drawing doesn’t show which buildings each uses.

Drawn from OpenStreetMap, inside the campus outline from the California School Campus Database (2025). Volunteers map it, so a new building may be missing. Buildings with no mapped height are drawn one storey high.

A picture of the campus, not an attendance boundary or a rating.

Schools maintain a closed campus policy. For students’ safety, visitors may enter a campus only with the school’s official permission; this drawing implies no permission to enter.

Common questions

How do I get in?

Ask Windsor Unified which school serves your address. Evidence ↓

How many students reached the top test level here?

In grade 11, spring 2026, 18% scored Advanced in English (reading and writing), and none did in math. 64% scored below the standard in English and 82% in math. Evidence ↓

How often do students miss school or get suspended?

32 in 100 students were chronically absent in 2025–26 (33 of 104), meaning they missed 10% or more of school days. 0 of 113 students were suspended at least once in 2025–26. Evidence ↓

Academic achievement

How did students here do on state tests?

36% of the 11 students tested scored Proficient or Advanced in English; 18% did in math.

State tests (CAASPP), grade 11, spring 2026

In grade 11, spring 2026, 36% of the 11 students tested scored Proficient or Advanced in English, against 57% across California. In math, 18% did, against 32% across California. Fewer than 30 students tested, so one year can swing a lot; ask how results looked in other years.

From spring 2026, the state calls its top two levels “Proficient or Advanced” (formerly “Met or Exceeded”).

A grade the school doesn't teach has no row. “Suppressed” marks a result CDE blanks because fewer than 11 students tested (CDE’s reporting rule); “none tested” marks a grade CDE lists with no students tested; “not on file” marks a result missing from the records we hold. None of them means zero.

Have results changed?

There’s no spring 2025 result to compare with spring 2026: fewer than 11 students tested here that year, so CDE withheld it.

Ask: What extra help do students who are behind get, and how do you know it’s working?

What you can do

Who can act on Sonoma County Virtual Academy’s results?

The state has Sonoma County Virtual Academy in targeted support; Windsor Unified’s board decides its plan.

What has the state flagged?

The state named it because results were low for Hispanic or Latino students. This support comes with a school improvement plan, which must use approaches with evidence behind them. Ask the principal to see the school improvement plan.

Federal designation under the Every Student Succeeds Act, 2025–26. Source 

The state is giving Windsor Unified extra help in 2026. It qualified on the 2025 California School Dashboard. The county office must help the district for at least three years, including a review of its yearly plan.

Extra help for Windsor Unified: CDE’s assistance status file for the 2025 California School Dashboard. Source 

When is the plan set, and how can you take part?

Windsor Unified’s board must adopt its yearly plan (LCAP) by July 1, after at least one public hearing at an earlier meeting.

How to take part

  • Watch the board’s agenda: the hearing is posted at least 72 hours ahead.
  • Send written comments on the actions and spending the plan proposes.
  • Raise questions through the district’s parent advisory committee; the superintendent must answer its comments in writing.
  • Read the midyear report, due by February 28.
  • Read Windsor Unified’s 2026–27 plan (LCAP, PDF)

    How the California mean was selected

    SchoolScope starts with its selected California finance records, not every NCES California district. For FY 2020–21, it calculates an unweighted mean of NCES F-33 current expense per pupil. District records contribute once, regardless of enrollment. The calculation keeps records with positive per-pupil current expense, enrollment over 100, CCD agency type 1, and a recorded district name; it excludes names ending in County Office of Education, Department of Education, or Superintendent of Schools. This is a SchoolScope calculation, not a state-published spending average.

    These shares are our arithmetic: each group’s dollars divided by the $66,431,678 total of the groups shown, rounded to whole percents by largest remainder so they add up to 100. Dollar amounts are rounded to the nearest dollar, so they can differ from the total by a dollar. SchoolScope groups district-level CDE SACS UserGL actuals from Fund 01, using operating objects 1000–5999 and excluding retiree benefits, food and community services, facilities acquisition, other outgo, and nonagency goals. These shares use that filtered total; they do not exactly break down CDE's official current expense per ADA above. The school-level ESSA figure uses a separate source.
