Summary:
The LPS Oakland R & D Campus District in Oakland, California, has one high school, LPS Oakland R & D Campus, serving grades 9–12 with 173 students. As the district’s only school, it offers no local school-to-school comparison; its results are best understood against California and its own results over time. The clearest concern for families focused on academic proficiency is that the school trails the state in all three reported subjects, especially math.
No school stands out above or below another locally because the list contains only this one campus. Compared with California, however, its 2025–26 all-grade proficiency rates were lower in ELA (36% versus 49%), math (13% versus 38%) and science (16% versus 36%). Math had the largest all-grade shortfall, at 26 percentage points, followed by science at 20 points and ELA at 13 points. The school’s completion and attendance measures tell a more favorable story: graduation was 93%, compared with 88% statewide, while chronic absenteeism was 2% versus 18%. Its dropout rate was also lower, at 7% versus 8% statewide.
ELA and math proficiency improved from 2024–25 to 2025–26, and the school narrowed its gap with the state in both subjects. ELA rose from 32% to 36%, while the state moved from 49% to 49%; the ELA gap narrowed by 3 points. Math rose from 8% to 13%, compared with a statewide increase from 37% to 38%, narrowing the gap by 4 points. SchoolDigger’s ranking improved from the 12th percentile in 2023–24 to the 29th percentile in 2025–26, though its rating remained 1 star. Context figures include a 12.7 student–teacher ratio in 2024–25 and 71% free/reduced lunch eligible that year. These measures provide background, but the data do not identify comparable schools or explain what accounts for the different academic, graduation and attendance results.
