Summary

Allendale Elementary serves 368 students in kindergarten through grade 5 in Oakland, within Oakland Unified. In 2025–2026, 14% of students were proficient in English language arts (ELA), 12% in math, and 7% in science. The central finding is that proficiency is low across all three subjects, and the school trails both the district and state as well as nearby K–5 schools in every subject.

Math is the school’s relative strength, though results remain below comparison schools: its 12% proficiency rate is 14 points below the nearby K–5 average, compared with gaps of 17 points in ELA (14% versus 32%) and 15 points in science (7% versus 22%). Allendale is also below district and state rates in each subject: for example, ELA is 14% versus 34% in the district and 49% statewide; math is 12% versus 28% and 38%, and science is 7% versus 27% and 36%. Fifth-grade ELA is a particular concern: 7% were proficient, compared with a nearby same-grade average of 37%, and this was the lowest grade-five result among nearby K–5 schools.

Recent trends are mixed: ELA fell from 17% in 2022–2023 to 14% in 2025–2026, math was nearly flat at 12% and 12%, and science rose from 2% to 7% after peaking at 22% in 2023–2024. SchoolDigger places Allendale at the 2nd percentile with 0 stars in 2025–2026; its percentile ranking has fallen from 12 in 2023–2024, and it is fourth-lowest among 10 nearby ranked schools. A notable exception is SchoolDigger’s measure of how well the school serves African American students: it is at the 31st percentile, compared with the school’s overall 2nd percentile. Chronic absenteeism has improved from 72% in 2022–2023 to 36%, but remains 7 points above the district and 18 points above the state. In 2024–2025, the student-teacher ratio was 21.2, and 97.6% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible; only nearby Global Family Elementary was higher on that same measure, at 98.0%.
