Summary

Cleveland Elementary is a K–5 school in Oakland Unified, Oakland, California, serving 376 students. In 2025–26, 52% of students were proficient in English language arts, 50% in math and 40% in science—above both state and district results in every subject. The most important finding is that, despite outperforming those averages, Cleveland’s proficiency has fallen in all three subjects since 2022–23.

Compared with nearby schools, Cleveland is above the group’s average in all three subjects, but it is not among the highest-scoring schools: it ranks sixth of ten in ELA and math, and seventh in science. Its ELA result is 9 points above the nearby-school average, math is 7 points above and science is 6 points above. Math is Cleveland’s strongest subject against the state and district, with leads of 11 and 22 points; its ELA lead over the state is thinner, at 3 points. Fifth-grade math is a particular weak spot: 39% were proficient, just 2 points above the state, compared with a 13-point state lead in grade 3.

Scores fell from 2022–23 to 2025–26 by 8 percentage points in ELA, 7 in math and 11 in science. SchoolDigger ranks Cleveland 1,870th out of 5,804 statewide, at the 68th percentile with 3 stars; its percentile had been 79 in each of the three prior reported years. The 2024–25 student–teacher ratio was 26.8, the highest reported among the nearby schools, and 56% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that year. Chronic absenteeism was 14% in 2025–26, below the state’s 18% and the district’s 30%. SchoolDigger’s subgroup ranking for Asian students was at the 16th percentile, well below the school’s overall 68th percentile; its Special Education Students ranking dropped from the 90th percentile in 2024–25 to the 43rd in 2025–26.
