The largest residential area in the District is the city of Sebastopol, located fifty miles north of San Francisco and 10 miles west of Santa Rosa.

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 our 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.
