Summary

Fruitvale Elementary is a K–5 school in Oakland, California, serving 254 students. Its most important challenge is that proficiency is low in every tested subject: in 2025–26, 10% of students were proficient in English language arts (ELA), 8% in math, and 0% in science.

Fruitvale trails both Oakland Unified and California in all three subjects. Its ELA proficiency was 25 points below the district and 40 below the state; math was 20 and 31 points lower, respectively; science was 27 and 36 points lower. Compared with nearby Oakland Unified schools, Fruitvale had the lowest ELA and science results, falling 5 points below the nearby ELA minimum and 3 points below the science minimum. Math is a relative bright spot: only Manzanita Community Elementary scored lower nearby.

Results have moved in different directions: from 2022–23 to 2025–26, ELA fell 3 points, math rose 3, and science fell 6; meanwhile, the gap with California widened by 6 points in ELA and 12 in science, and widened by 1 point in math. SchoolDigger ranked Fruitvale 5,771 of 5,804 California schools, at the 1st percentile with 0 stars. Chronic absenteeism was 43% in 2025–26, down from a 70% peak but above the district’s 30% and state’s 18%. In 2024–25, 96% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible, and the student–teacher ratio was 21.1. SchoolDigger’s student-group rankings differ from the overall result: Special Education Students ranked at the 28th percentile in 2025–26, versus 1st overall; African American Students fell from the 60th percentile in 2018–19 to the 1st percentile in 2025–26.
