Community School for Creative Education District

The Community School for Creative Education District in Oakland, California, is home to a single elementary school serving grades K-8, the Community School for Creative Education. With a total enrollment of 183 students, the school faces significant challenges, including consistently low academic performance, high chronic absenteeism, and a predominantly economically disadvantaged student population.

The school's academic proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science are consistently lower than the state averages across all grade levels, ranging from 10.53% to 33.33% in ELA and 5% to 21.05% in Mathematics, compared to the state averages of 42.96% to 47.44% and 29.94% to 45.11%, respectively. Additionally, the school's science proficiency rates of 9.68% for grade 5 and 5.56% for grade 8 are significantly lower than the state averages of 31.86% and 28.76%.

Compounding these academic challenges, the Community School for Creative Education has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 48.6%, which is significantly higher than the state average. Furthermore, a large majority (75.96%) of the school's students are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. These findings suggest that the school and the district face significant obstacles in providing effective educational opportunities and support for their students, and that targeted interventions and resources may be necessary to address these issues and improve outcomes.
