Summary
Oakland International High is a 270-student, grades 9–12 public high school in Oakland, California, part of Oakland Unified. Its latest test results are its clearest concern: it had 0% proficiency in English language arts (ELA), 5% in math and 0% in science, the lowest results in all three subjects among the six nearby schools with results for 2025–2026.
The school’s results are far below district and state levels, and below the nearby-school averages. ELA proficiency was 34% below the district, 49 points below the state and 47 points below the nearby average. Math was its strongest subject by comparison, but its 5% result was still 22 points below the district, 33 below the state and 23 below the nearby average; the district and nearby average were 27.7% and 28.3%, respectively. Science was 27 points below the district, 36 below the state and 28 below the nearby average. Other measures also raise concern: the 2025–2026 graduation rate was 54%, versus 79% in the district and 88% statewide, while the dropout rate was 33%, compared with 13% and 8%. Chronic absenteeism was 50%, versus 30% in the district and 18% statewide.
Results over time are mixed: ELA remained at 0% from 2022–2023 to 2025–2026, math rose from 0% to 5%, and science fell from 21% to 0%. The state gap narrowed in math, from 35 to 33 points, but widened in ELA, from 47 to 49 points, and science, from 9 to 36 points. SchoolDigger ranks the school 2,048th of 2,137 statewide, in the 4th percentile with 0 stars; its percentile improved from 1 in 2024–2025, but it remains below nearby schools with current-year rankings. Its 2024–2025 student-teacher ratio was 9.2, the lowest among nearby schools with a reported ratio, but that did not coincide with stronger test results. In 2024–2025, 55% of students were directly certified for free meals; this measure is not directly comparable to nearby schools’ free/reduced-lunch eligibility figures.
