Summary

Frick United Academy of Language Middle is an Oakland Unified middle school in Oakland, California, serving 392 students in grades 6–8. Chronic absenteeism remains high: 48% of students were chronically absent in 2025–2026, compared with 30% in Oakland Unified and 18% statewide. The most important concern is that proficiency remains very low: only 11% of students met standards in English language arts, 3% in math and 10% in science.

Frick was below state and district results in all three subjects in 2025–2026. Its gaps with state results were 38 percentage points in English language arts, 36 in math and 26 in science; its gaps with district results were 23, 25 and 17 points, respectively. Among the five nearby Oakland Unified middle schools with same-year results, Frick had the lowest English language arts and math rates. Science was a relative bright spot: it ranked third among those six schools, including Frick. Even so, its science rate was 2 points below the nearby-school average. Available school-to-school comparisons use the same year where possible.

Scores have improved since 2022–2023, especially in English language arts and science, but the gains have not lifted Frick’s statewide standing: SchoolDigger placed it in the 1st percentile with 0 stars in each supplied year from 2022–2023 through 2025–2026. Its latest student–teacher ratio was 17.1:1 in 2024–2025, about 2 students per teacher above the 15.3:1 average for nearby district schools with reported ratios. As context, 64% of Frick students were directly certified for free meals in 2024–2025; this is not a free/reduced-lunch rate. The school is also flagged as likely to serve free meals to all students through Community Eligibility.
