of 5,857 California Elementary Schools

Better than 4% of California elementary schools

Summary

Global Family Elementary is a K-5 public school in the Oakland Unified district serving 446 students, nearly all of whom come from economically disadvantaged backgrounds.

Academically, the school faces significant challenges, with test scores well below district and state averages and a statewide ranking in the bottom 4% of all California schools. However, it has made remarkable progress in reducing chronic student absenteeism, cutting the rate by more than half in recent years to 25.1%, which is now better than some neighboring schools like Horace Mann Elementary and Allendale Elementary. The school spends over $26,000 per student, which is significantly more than several nearby charter schools that achieve higher rankings, such as Lazear Charter Academy.

Performance varies greatly for different groups of students; support for English Language Learners is a relative strength, while outcomes for students in special education are a critical area of concern. The school's situation is highlighted by comparisons to others in the area, like the co-located Learning Without Limits and nearby Melrose Leadership Academy, which serve similar communities but have achieved stronger academic results, suggesting factors beyond funding and demographics are at play.
