Summary

Madison Park Academy 6-12 is a public school serving about 676 students in grades 6 through 12 within the Oakland Unified district, which ranks in the bottom quarter of districts statewide, and it serves a student population where nearly all qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.

The school presents a complex picture: while it successfully graduates a very high percentage of its students (87-97% in recent years), its academic proficiency rates in core subjects like English and Math are very low, at 18% and 5% respectively. A major challenge is chronic absenteeism, with over half of students missing significant school, a rate much higher than the district and state averages. The school's statewide ranking has also been volatile and has declined significantly over the past decade.

Comparisons with nearby schools highlight key differences. For instance, East Bay Innovation Academy achieves much higher academic proficiency with lower per-student spending and has a very low chronic absenteeism rate of 15%. Another close neighbor, Aspire Lionel Wilson College Preparatory Academy, also shows stronger academic results. This suggests that factors like attendance and how resources are used can significantly impact outcomes, even for schools serving students with similar economic challenges like Castlemont High.
