of 5,804 California Elementary Schools

Better than 96% of California elementary schools

Summary

Frank Otis Elementary is a K–5 school in Alameda, California, serving 569 students in Alameda Unified. Its 2025–26 proficiency rates were 80% in English language arts (ELA), 78% in math and 71% in science, all well above state and district results. The most important takeaway is that Frank Otis delivers particularly strong results overall, with science its clearest advantage among nearby district schools.

Compared with five nearby Alameda Unified schools, Frank Otis ranked first of six in science, second in ELA and fourth in math. Its science score was 12 percentage points above those schools’ average, compared with 8 points above average in ELA and 4 in math. Frank Otis also exceeded state results by 35 points in science, 31 in ELA and 40 in math; its leads over district results were 12, 10 and 17 points, respectively. Third-grade math is a specific relative weakness: 74% proficiency was 1 point below the district and ranked fifth among the six nearby schools, although it remained 27 points above the state.

Results have risen since 2022–23: ELA gained 12 percentage points, math 12 and science 8. Yet Frank Otis’s leads over the state widened over that period, rather than closing. SchoolDigger placed the school at the 96th statewide percentile with five stars in 2025–26, versus the district’s 86th percentile and four stars. Its 24.7 student–teacher ratio in 2024–25 was near the middle of the comparison group, not unusually low. The school reported 22% free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–25, the fourth-lowest rate among 10 schools with that same measure and year. SchoolDigger’s measure of how effectively the school serves Asian students placed it at the 50th percentile statewide, 46 percentile points below the school’s overall ranking; for Multi-racial Students, it was at the 63rd percentile, 33 points below overall.
