Summary:
The city of Alameda, California is home to 18 schools, including 10 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, 5 high schools, and 1 alternative school. These schools are part of the Alameda Unified School District, with the exception of 2 charter schools: The Academy of Alameda and Nea Community Learning Center.
Several schools stand out in the district, including Alameda Science and Technology Institute, which ranks 25th out of 2,335 California high schools and has a 100% four-year graduation rate. Other top performers are Amelia Earhart Elementary and Bay Farm, both of which rank in the top 10% of California elementary schools. Lincoln Middle also stands out, ranking 120th out of 2,788 California middle schools.
However, the data also reveals significant disparities within the district. Graduation rates range from 63% at Island High (Continuation) to 100% at Alameda Science and Technology Institute. Test scores and chronic absenteeism rates also vary widely, with a clear correlation between socioeconomic factors, as measured by free/reduced lunch rates, and academic performance. The district has opportunities to address these inequities and ensure all students receive a high-quality education.
