Summary

Coliseum College Prep Academy (CCPA) is a public 6-12 school in Oakland serving 861 students, where it stands out for its exceptionally high graduation rate despite serving a community with significant economic need.

Academically, CCPA's test scores are below state averages but are generally stronger than nearby traditional district high schools like Castlemont High and Fremont High, which serve similar student populations. The school's greatest strength is its 92.6% graduation rate, which far exceeds the Oakland Unified district average and the state average, and it maintains very low dropout rates. However, the school faces a significant challenge with chronic absenteeism, at 34.2%, which is higher than the district and state averages.

When compared to some nearby charter schools like Oakland Unity High and ARISE High, which have higher test scores, CCPA's performance is more moderate. The school shows particular effectiveness with Hispanic students and English Learners, but has room for improvement in mathematics and with other student groups. CCPA achieves its strong graduation outcomes with moderate per-student spending and a favorable student-teacher ratio compared to some peers.
