Summary

Crocker Highlands Elementary is a top-performing K-5 public school serving 415 students in the Oakland Unified School District, consistently ranking among the best schools in California.

The school achieves exceptional academic results, with over 70% of students proficient in both English and Math, dramatically outperforming both district and state averages. What truly sets Crocker Highlands apart is its remarkable effectiveness in supporting all students, including those with special needs and from lower-income families, ranking in the 80th to 100th percentile statewide for these groups. The school also maintains an exceptionally low rate of chronic absenteeism at just 5.1%, far below the district average, and achieves these outstanding results with moderate per-student spending.

While nearby schools in Piedmont City Unified like Wildwood Elementary rank slightly higher, they serve a much more affluent student population. Within its own district, Crocker Highlands is a standout success story, with proficiency rates often double those of other Oakland Unified schools such as Fruitvale Elementary or Manzanita Community Elementary. This demonstrates that high achievement is possible within an urban district, making Crocker Highlands a model of excellence and resilience.
