Summary
LPS Oakland R & D Campus is a small high school in Oakland, California, serving grades 9–12 and enrolling 173 students. Its results show a notable contrast: 2025–26 test proficiency was below state levels in all three subjects, but chronic absenteeism was just 2% compared with 18% statewide, and graduation was 93% compared with 88% statewide. The most important takeaway is that strong attendance and graduation coexist with substantial academic gaps.
English language arts is the school’s strongest subject relative to California, while math is its weakest: LPS scored 36% in ELA, 13% in math, and 16% in science, versus state results of 49%, 38%, and 36%. Among nearby schools reporting 11th-grade results, LPS ranked second in ELA and math, behind Coliseum College Prep Academy; its ELA score was 15 points above the next-highest reported score, and its math score was 8 points above the next-highest after Coliseum. SchoolDigger placed LPS at the 22nd percentile in its district, while its statewide standing was also below the midpoint.
Scores have improved since their 2023–24 low: from 2022–23 to 2025–26, ELA rose 14 points, math 9 points, and science 11 points, while the gaps to state results narrowed by 11, 5, and 6 points, respectively. SchoolDigger’s overall ranking rose from the 12th percentile in 2023–24 to the 29th percentile in 2025–26, though the school still had 1 star. In 2024–25, its student-teacher ratio was 12.7:1, the lowest among nearby schools with data; 71% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible. One SchoolDigger subgroup trend stands out: its ranking for English Language Learner Students fell from the 68th percentile in 2021–22 to the 7th percentile in 2023–24, a sharp decline in the measure of how well the school serves this group.
