Summary
Lockwood STEAM Academy Elementary is a K–5 school in Oakland, California, with 678 students and is part of Oakland Unified. Its clearest challenge is academic proficiency: in 2025–26, results were below district and state levels in English language arts (ELA), math, and science.
Compared with the seven nearby district schools with results for the same year, the school was around the middle: fourth of eight in ELA and science, and fifth in math. Its proficiency was 14% in ELA, 12% in math, and 7% in science, compared with 34%, 28%, and 27% for the district, and 49%, 38%, and 36% statewide. Fourth-grade ELA stands out as a relative bright spot: 21% were proficient, the second-highest result among the eight schools, behind ACORN Woodland Elementary. Fifth grade was weaker, with 12% proficient in ELA and 7% in math, ranking sixth among the eight schools in each subject.
Scores improved in all three subjects from 2024–25 to 2025–26, but over the four years shown, math rose by 3 points while ELA and science remained roughly flat; state results rose faster, widening the school’s gaps. Chronic absenteeism has also improved substantially, from 67% in 2022–23 to 36% in 2025–26, but remains 7 points above the district and 18 above the state. SchoolDigger ranked the school 5,698th of 5,804 statewide, in the 2nd percentile with 0 stars, though it ranked fourth among these eight local schools. The student–teacher ratio was 24.6 in 2024–25, the highest among nearby schools with data; 67% of students were directly certified for free meals that year. One notable SchoolDigger subgroup finding is that its statewide measure of how well the school serves special education students fell from the 18th percentile in 2023–24 to the 0th percentile in 2025–26, while its overall percentile moved from 1 to 2.
