Summary

Frick United Academy of Language Middle is a public middle school serving about 390 students in grades 6-8 within the Oakland Unified district, which is ranked in the bottom quarter of all districts in California.

Academic performance at Frick United Academy of Language Middle is among the lowest in the state, with fewer than 6% of students proficient in English and fewer than 2% proficient in math, and the school has consistently ranked in the bottom 1-2% of California middle schools for the past decade. Chronic absenteeism, where students miss a significant portion of the school year, is a major challenge at 44.6%, which is more than double the state average and contributes to these outcomes. The school spends a considerable amount per student, over $28,900, which is higher than many nearby schools, yet these resources have not translated into improved academic results.

Comparisons with nearby schools highlight significant differences; for instance, Lincoln Middle in Alameda Unified, just a few miles away, has much higher proficiency and lower absenteeism. Within Oakland, performance varies widely, with Downtown Charter Academy ranking very high while other charters like Aurum Preparatory Academy also struggle. This suggests that while the student population faces significant economic challenges, the school's deep-rooted issues with attendance and academic support require comprehensive, systemic change to improve.
