Summary

Oakland International High is a small public high school serving about 270 students in grades 9-12 within the Oakland Unified district, designed specifically for recently arrived immigrant and refugee students who are learning English.

The school serves a uniquely high-need population, with nearly all students qualifying for free lunch, and it receives significant resources, including very high per-student funding and an exceptionally low student-to-teacher ratio that allows for more individual attention. However, traditional state test scores and graduation rates are the lowest among all nearby schools, including McClymonds High and Street Academy Alternative High. It's important to understand that these standard metrics may not fully capture the progress students make from their starting points, as the school shows slightly better relative performance for its English Learner students than for other groups.

A major challenge is chronic absenteeism, with nearly 60% of students missing significant school, which greatly impacts learning and graduation. While the school's specialized mission addresses profound barriers, outcomes differ sharply from other models serving high-need students nearby, such as Oakland Military Institute College Preparatory Academy, which has much higher graduation and attendance rates. The contrast with the highly-rated Piedmont High in a neighboring district also highlights significant community disparities in educational resources and student needs.
