The District is also the LEA for the West Sonoma County Special Education and Student Services Consortium.
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.

Approximately 80% of the District graduates go on to attend a community college, four-year college, or business / trade school.
