Summary

Oakland Technical High is a large, comprehensive public high school serving grades 9-12 to approximately 1,800 students in a diverse urban setting within the Oakland Unified School District.

This school stands out as a strong performer within its district, achieving a 94% graduation rate and proficiency scores in English and math that are significantly higher than the Oakland Unified average. It has shown impressive improvement over the last decade and has been particularly successful in supporting English Language Learners and students with special needs. While the school faces challenges in math and science achievement, it operates efficiently, achieving these outcomes with moderate per-student spending compared to some neighboring schools like McClymonds High.

When compared to other local options, Oakland Tech's performance is notable. It substantially outperforms nearby Oakland Unified schools such as Oakland International High and Street Academy Alternative High in both academics and attendance, and it also ranks higher than some local charter schools. However, specialized schools like the Oakland School for the Arts and Piedmont High in the neighboring Piedmont City Unified district achieve higher overall rankings.
