East Bay Innovation Academy District

The East Bay Innovation Academy District in Oakland contains a single school, East Bay Innovation Academy, which serves grades 6 through 12 with 451 students.

This charter school demonstrates significant strengths in student support, boasting a 97% graduation rate with zero dropouts and a chronic absenteeism rate better than the state average, which points to a strong, engaging school culture. Academically, the school performs well in English Language Arts, generally exceeding state averages, and its middle school grades (6-8) hold their own or outperform state benchmarks in most subjects. However, a notable area for improvement is mathematics, where proficiency, particularly in the 11th grade, falls significantly below the state average.

While the school's ranking has declined recently, largely influenced by test scores, its foundational success in keeping students in school and graduating them is clear. For parents, this school presents a compelling option that excels at supporting students through to graduation but requires a focused effort to strengthen academic rigor, especially in higher-level math courses.
