Summary

Oakland Charter High is a public charter high school serving 330 students in grades 9-12 in Oakland, California, operating within the Oakland Charter High District and ranking in the 64th percentile among California high schools.

The school shows notable strengths, particularly in English Language Arts where its proficiency rate exceeds the state average, and it maintains a strong graduation rate of 89.5%. It appears especially effective for certain student groups, such as those from low-income families and English Language Learners, whose performance has shown significant recent improvement. However, challenges remain in mathematics proficiency and chronic absenteeism, which are higher than the state average. Compared to nearby schools like Oakland High and LIFE Academy that serve similar student populations, Oakland Charter High generally achieves better academic outcomes.

An interesting point of comparison is with Alameda High, which achieves much higher test scores and a higher graduation rate while spending significantly less per student, highlighting that funding is not the only factor in school performance. While Oakland Charter High's statewide ranking has declined in recent years, its ability to graduate students at a high rate and its performance relative to other local schools in the Oakland Unified area suggest it provides a supportive environment for its community.
