Summary

Achieve Academy is a public elementary school (grades K-5) serving 537 students in Oakland, California, operating within the Achieve Academy District.

The school serves a high-needs community, with over 90% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, and its academic performance, particularly in science, is below state averages. However, Achieve Academy has a remarkable and standout strength: its chronic absenteeism rate of 8.1% is less than half the state average and dramatically lower than most nearby schools in Oakland Unified, some of which have rates over 40%. Furthermore, despite spending significantly less per student than most neighboring schools, it often achieves better academic results than other local schools with similar levels of economic disadvantage, such as Garfield Elementary and Global Family Elementary.

When compared to higher-performing nearby charters like Lazear Charter Academy and Ascend—which have lower poverty rates—the academic gap highlights ongoing challenges. The school has shown historical success, especially in supporting English Language Learners, and its exceptional ability to ensure students are present is a significant achievement. For parents, the profile is mixed: the school creates a strong, consistent learning environment through high attendance but is working to translate that strength into higher academic proficiency across all subjects.
