Summary

LPS Oakland R & D Campus is a small public high school serving about 173 students in grades 9-12 in Oakland, operating within its own LPS Oakland R & D Campus District.

The school has a clear and remarkable strength in keeping students engaged and on track to graduate, with a 94.4% graduation rate and a chronic absenteeism rate of just 1.7%, which are significantly better than both the state average and nearby schools like Castlemont High. However, this success in attendance and graduation has not yet translated to strong academic results on standardized tests, with proficiency rates in math and English well below state averages. This creates a notable contrast with some neighboring schools, such as Oakland Unity High, which achieve higher test scores with similar student populations.

Recent years have seen significant investments, including a dramatic reduction in class size to a low student-teacher ratio of 12.7 and high per-student spending. While these resources create favorable conditions for learning, academic improvement remains a key challenge. For parents, LPS Oakland R & D Campus represents a school that excels at supporting student commitment and graduation but is still working to elevate its academic outcomes to match that level of engagement.
