Summary

Greenleaf is a K-8 elementary school serving 613 students in East Oakland, operating within the Oakland Unified school district, which ranks in the bottom quarter of districts statewide.

Academically, Greenleaf ranks in the lowest percentiles in California, though its test scores are generally higher than several nearby schools with similar student populations, including Bridges @ Melrose Academy Elementary, Horace Mann Elementary, Markham Elementary, and East Oakland Pride Elementary. However, it significantly trails higher-performing schools in the area like Melrose Leadership Academy. The school has shown a notable strength in dramatically improving student attendance since the pandemic, with its chronic absenteeism rate now lower than the district average and better than many comparable schools.

Despite spending less per student than some neighboring schools, Greenleaf achieves relatively better academic results, raising questions about resource efficiency across the district. The school's performance has declined over the past decade, and it shows particular volatility in effectively serving specific student groups from year to year, indicating a need for consistent, targeted support.
