Summary

Oakland High is a public high school in Oakland, California, serving grades 9–12, with 1,579 students—the largest enrollment among the nearby schools in the data. The most important takeaway is that its results have risen substantially, but the school still trails California in all three tested subjects.

Compared with nearby schools, Oakland High’s clearest relative strength is math: it ranks third of eight schools with recent comparable results, with 26% proficient compared with a nearby average of 23%; the high-scoring exception is Piedmont High. Oakland High is fifth of eight in ELA and fourth of eight in science, though its results are slightly above nearby averages in both subjects. Against Oakland Unified, it is ahead in ELA by 10 points and science by 5, but 2 points behind in math. Statewide, math is the largest gap: Oakland High is 13 points below California in math, compared with 5 points below in ELA and 4 below in science. Graduation is a bright spot: 88%, close to the state’s 88% and 9 points above the district; chronic absenteeism is 29%, 11 points above the state and about level with the district.

Scores have improved since 2022–2023: ELA rose from 32% to 44%, math from 12% to 26%, and science from 12% to 32%; science gained the most, while math dipped slightly in the latest year. SchoolDigger places Oakland High at the 50th percentile, or 2 stars, for 2025–2026. Its student-teacher ratio is 18.3, above the nearby reported average of 17.7, and 90% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–2025.
