United for Success Academy Middle

Public Grades 6-8

2635^th

SchoolDigger Rank ?

of 2,703 California Middle Schools

Better than 3% of California middle schools

Summary

United for Success Academy Middle serves 347 students in grades 6–8 in Oakland, California. Its latest SchoolDigger ranking places it 2,635th of 2,703 California schools, at the 3rd percentile with 0 stars. The most important takeaway is that proficiency is substantially below both district and state rates in all three subjects.

ELA is the school’s strongest subject relative to Oakland Unified, while math is its clearest weakness: 17% of students were proficient in ELA, 5% in math, and 9% in science, compared with district rates of 34%, 28%, and 27%. The school was also below state rates of 49%, 38%, and 36%, respectively. Among nearby Oakland Unified schools serving the same grades, it ranked second-lowest in ELA and math and lowest in science. It did outperform Frick United Academy of Language Middle in ELA (17% vs. 11%) and math (5% vs. 3%), but trailed all four same-grade-span peers in science.

Recent results are mixed: math fell by 4 percentage points from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, while science rose from 4% to 9%; ELA was nearly unchanged over the full 2022–2023 to 2025–2026 period. Chronic absenteeism improved from 68% to 36% over those years, but the latest rate remained 7 points above the district and 18 points above the state. SchoolDigger ranks Oakland Unified at the 26th percentile with 1 star. The school’s 2024–2025 student-teacher ratio was 16.4, below the nearby-school average of 23.0. In 2024–2025, 63% of students were directly certified for free meals; Frick was at 64% on the same measure. One historical bright spot: SchoolDigger ranked the school at the 33rd percentile for English Language Learner Students in 2023–2024, compared with the school’s 5th percentile overall that year; no later ranking for this group is supplied.
