Woodland Joint Unified School District includes three (3) infant-toddler programs, six (6) preschools, ten (10) K-6 elementary schools, one (1) elementary charter school, two (2) middle schools, two (2) comprehensive senior high schools for grades 9-12, a continuation high school, and an adult school.

Student population for grades K-12 exceeds 10,247. A $40 million construction bond (1999) allowed our second 4-year high school to open in the fall of 2003 with full occupation completed in fall of 2005. The bond also provided for modernization of most existing facilities. The WJUSD is governed by a seven (7) member Board of Trustees, with residence in one of seven geographical electoral districts. The District serves students in a 305 square mile area mostly in Yolo County. The District also includes a small area of southern Sutter County. While most District students live in the City of Woodland, several rural communities are within the District's boundaries. The District has a diverse ethnic and culturally enriched population.
With a budget of $73.3 million for 2011-2012, the District has adequate reserves to meet fiscal uncertainties. The District's 2011-2012 revenue limit of $5,275.18 per ADA supports a wide variety of programs and a staff of 553 certificated and management employees and 456 classified employees. The Woodland Joint Unified District was formed in July 1965, when it united elementary and high school districts. Focusing on excellence for all students, the District features school improvement programs with extensive staff development. Beginning teachers are supported with the Beginning Teacher Support and Assessment (BTSA) program. Teacher internships are offered in cooperation with nearby universities. Well-equipped classrooms and helpful, knowledgeable employees exemplify strong support services. In addition to core programs, the District offers curriculum for English Language Learners, special needs, gifted and talented, preschool, independent study, and home schooling students, as well as a variety of adult programs. Childcare is available on several campuses.
