What are families also paying for at Woodland Christian High School?

Some of what a family pays for at Woodland Christian High School is something only a private school can offer. None of it shows up in a UC Reach Score, and each item is a question of fit rather than a ranking.

• A community chosen by fit. A private school runs its own admissions process, so the application, the entrance exam and the interview work as a fit signal in both directions: the school learns about the student, and the family learns how the school talks about its students.
• Its own values and program. A private school sets its own curriculum, calendar and expectations rather than inheriting a district's, so a family can look for a philosophy it shares.
• A faith community. Woodland Christian High School is a religiously affiliated school, which matters to families who want faith to be part of the school day.
• Class size. The National Center for Education Statistics' Private School Survey (2022) lists Woodland Christian High School at 19.4 students per teacher across 840 students.
• Size and grades served. Woodland Christian High School enrolled 805 students in 2025 and serves grades Preschool–12.
• Advising, arts and athletics. A private school builds its own college advising and its own arts and athletics offerings, and a smaller school can mean more students on each team and in each production. Ask what the counselor caseload and the participation look like.

Parents are not only shopping for college outcomes. The UC Reach Score counts one thing, UC admits per 100 seniors, and it says nothing about whether a teenager will be known, challenged and happy at a school for four years.

Public schools are a great choice when a family cannot afford a private school, and the section above shows what Davis Senior High School offers.
