Summary

ACORN Woodland Elementary is a public K-5 school in the Oakland Unified district, serving 291 students in a high-need community where nearly all students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.

While the school's overall academic performance, particularly in English and Science, is below state averages and has declined over the past decade, it shows important strengths when compared to many neighboring district schools. For instance, ACORN Woodland's math scores are higher than nearby schools like Lockwood STEAM Academy Elementary and Markham Elementary, and it has a significantly lower rate of chronic student absenteeism. However, it generally lags behind nearby charter schools such as Aspire College Academy and Aspire Monarch Academy in academic proficiency.

Historical data indicates the school has been particularly effective in supporting specific student groups, like English Learners and those in special education, though these areas have also seen recent declines. The school's better attendance record and relative strength in math suggest a foundation of effective engagement and instruction that the community can build upon, even as it works to address broader academic challenges shared by many schools in the area.
