Summary

Oakland Unity High is a public charter high school serving about 295 students in grades 9-12 in Oakland, California, standing out as a consistently performing school in an area where many others face significant challenges.

The school has clear strengths, particularly in getting students to graduation and keeping them engaged. Its graduation rate of 93.9% is notably higher than both the state and local district averages, and students attend school regularly, with a chronic absenteeism rate of 13.3% that is much better than most nearby schools like Castlemont High (58.2%) and Rudsdale Continuation High (96.8%). Academically, the school excels in English Language Arts, where 65.7% of students are proficient—far surpassing the state average and outperforming nearly all local schools, with only Oakland Charter High coming close. The school is also highly effective in supporting English Language Learner students.

Areas for growth include mathematics and science, where proficiency rates are below state averages. The school also faces a significant challenge in serving its Special Education students effectively, an area identified as needing improvement. Despite these challenges, Oakland Unity High achieves these solid outcomes within the Oakland Unity High District while spending less per student than many comparable schools in the Oakland Unified area, demonstrating efficient use of its resources.
