Summary:
The Oakland Military Inst College Prep Academy District consists of a single school, the Oakland Military Institute College Preparatory Academy, a military academy-style public school serving grades 6-12 in Oakland with a current enrollment of 480 students.
This school stands out for its highly structured environment, which yields exceptional results in student engagement and persistence. It boasts a 95.5% graduation rate, well above the state average, and a chronic absenteeism rate of just 10.5%, nearly half the state's rate. These strong outcomes are particularly notable given that over 90% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating the school serves a high-needs population. The school maintains a favorable student-teacher ratio of 15:1 and spends over $19,500 per student.
However, the school presents a paradox: while behavioral outcomes are excellent, academic proficiency scores are generally below state averages. Performance in English Language Arts improves significantly by 11th grade, exceeding the state average, but mathematics proficiency is critically low at 10.78%. This academic challenge is reflected in the school's declining statewide ranking over the past three years. For parents, this means the school is highly effective at providing structure and ensuring students graduate but requires urgent focus on improving core academic achievement, especially in math and science.
