Summary

Ocean View Elementary is a K-5 public school serving 563 students in the highly-regarded Albany City Unified district, known for its economic diversity and solid academic performance above state averages.

What makes Ocean View stand out is its success in serving a student population with greater economic needs compared to other schools in the area; nearly 47% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, which is nearly double the rate at nearby Marin Elementary or Cornell Elementary. Despite this, the school maintains strong proficiency scores in English and Math that are well above the California average. The school has also made remarkable progress in improving student attendance, cutting its chronic absenteeism rate by more than half since 2022 to a rate that is now better than the district and state averages.

While Ocean View's overall statewide ranking is slightly lower than its district peers, this is largely due to its different student demographics, and the school shows particular strength in supporting Hispanic and economically disadvantaged students. Compared to schools in neighboring districts like Berkeley Unified, such as Rosa Parks Environmental Science, Ocean View delivers robust outcomes. The school receives slightly higher per-student funding than some peers, which likely helps support its diverse learners, and families can expect a school effectively focused on equity and consistent improvement.
