Summary

Amelia Earhart Elementary is a top-rated K-5 public school serving 573 students in the high-performing Alameda Unified School District, consistently ranking in the top 5% of all California elementary schools.

The school excels academically, with student proficiency in math and science more than double the state average, and it maintains this high standard across all grade levels. A key strength is its exceptional effectiveness in supporting all students, ranking in the 97th percentile for economically disadvantaged students statewide. The school also fosters a strong culture of attendance, with a chronic absenteeism rate less than half the state average. This consistent excellence is achieved efficiently, with per-student spending slightly lower than some neighboring schools like Love Elementary and Edison Elementary.

When compared to schools in adjacent districts, the differences are striking. For example, Amelia Earhart's math proficiency is over 70 percentage points higher than Bridges @ Melrose Academy Elementary in Oakland Unified. Even within its own strong district, Amelia Earhart stands out for its steady performance, unlike Franklin Elementary, which has seen some variability in its rankings. The school's resilience was evident during the pandemic, maintaining high achievement and low absenteeism. This demonstrates that Amelia Earhart's success is built on effective instructional practices and a supportive environment that benefits every learner.
