Summary

Latitude 37.8 High is a public high school serving grades 9-12 to 389 students in Oakland, California, and it stands out as a remarkable success story, having dramatically improved from a low-performing to a solidly above-average school in recent years.

The school's most compelling strengths are its high 93.1% graduation rate and its strong performance in English Language Arts, where students outperform the state average. This is particularly notable because the school achieves these results while serving a student population where a significant majority qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, and it does so with great financial efficiency, spending far less per student than many nearby schools like Oakland Charter High or Dewey Academy High. Compared to other local options in the Oakland Unified district, such as Fremont High, Latitude 37.8 High delivers significantly better academic outcomes and lower dropout rates.

Areas for growth include mathematics proficiency, which is below the state average, and reducing chronic absenteeism. Performance can also vary for different student groups, with strong results for some but a need for more consistent support for others, such as English Language Learners. Despite these challenges, the school's upward trajectory within its own Latitude 37.8 High District and its favorable student-teacher ratio make it a standout choice that proves strong outcomes are achievable in an urban setting.
