Summary

Peralta Elementary is a K–5 school serving 355 students in Oakland, in the Oakland Unified district. Its 2025–26 results were well above district and state levels. The clearest takeaway is that Peralta’s strongest academic results are in math and science, where it ranks near the top of nearby K–5 schools.

In 2025–26, 70% of Peralta students were proficient in math and 67% in science, ranking third among eight nearby schools with comparable results in each subject; ELA proficiency was 68%, ranking sixth. Peralta’s results exceeded nearby-school averages in all three subjects: 68% versus 61% in ELA, 70% versus 56% in math, and 67% versus 55% in science. They were also above state results by 18 points in ELA, 31 in math, and 31 in science, and above Oakland Unified by 33, 42, and 39 points, respectively. Results vary by grade, too: math proficiency was 78% in grade 3 and 60% in grade 5.

Over the four reported years, math proficiency rose 9 points and science rose 22, while ELA declined 1 point overall and fell 8 points from 2024–25 to 2025–26. Reported chronic absenteeism also dropped sharply, from 34% in 2022–23 to 4% in 2025–26. SchoolDigger placed Peralta at the 88th statewide percentile, with 4 stars, in 2025–26; its student–teacher ratio was 30.8:1 in 2024–25, higher than the nearby schools with reported ratios. The free/reduced lunch eligible share was 30% in 2024–25, compared with a nearby-school median of 33%. One SchoolDigger subgroup result stands out: its statewide ranking for how well it serves “Multi-racial Students” was at the 52nd percentile in 2025–26, compared with the school’s overall 88th percentile.
