of 5,857 California Elementary Schools

Better than 8% of California elementary schools

Summary

International Community Elementary is a public K-5 school serving 301 students in the Oakland Unified district, located in a high-need area where 94% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.

Academically, the school faces significant challenges, with only 17% of students proficient in English and 15% in math, placing it in the bottom 10% of California elementary schools. It performs in the middle compared to some nearby district schools like Garfield Elementary and Global Family Elementary, but lags far behind higher-performing local charter schools such as Lazear Charter Academy and Ascend, which achieve much stronger results with significantly less funding per student.

A notable bright spot is a dramatic improvement in student attendance, with chronic absenteeism dropping from 59% to 25% in just two years. The school shares its building with Think College Now Elementary, which serves a similar student population but has higher test scores, offering a direct comparison of different educational approaches within the same location.
