Summary

Coliseum College Prep Academy is a public school in Oakland, California, serving 861 students in grades 6–12. Its broad grade span is unusual among nearby high schools and makes grade-by-grade comparisons especially useful. The school’s 2025–2026 graduation rate was 97%, 18 percentage points above Oakland Unified and 10 points above the state, yet chronic absenteeism was also high: 32%, compared with 30% districtwide and 18% statewide. The most important takeaway is this contrast between strong graduation outcomes and a substantial attendance challenge.

In 2025–2026, science was the school’s strongest subject relative to the state and district, while math was its weakest: proficiency was 25% in science, 30% in English Language Arts/Literacy (ELA), and 12% in math. Those results were 11, 19, and 26 percentage points below state levels, respectively, and 2, 4, and 15 points below district levels. Compared with five nearby schools reporting results, however, Coliseum was above the average in all three subjects—by 12 points in science, 5 in ELA, and 3 in math. Grade-level results tell another part of the story: 11th-grade ELA proficiency was 61%, above the state’s 57%, while grades 6–8 ranged from 17% to 28%.

Results have improved since 2022–2023: science rose 11 percentage points, ELA 5, and math 4, though all three remain below state averages. SchoolDigger placed the school at the 57th percentile with 3 stars in 2025–2026, up from the 32nd percentile and 2 stars the prior year. Its SchoolDigger percentile for African American students rose especially sharply, from 14 to 71; the latest subgroup percentile was 14 points above the school’s overall percentile. In 2024–2025, the student-teacher ratio was 14.8, compared with a nearby-school average of 18.8. Also that year, 55% of students were directly certified for free meals; the school is flagged as likely serving free meals to all students through Community Eligibility, so this percentage is not the share receiving meals.
