Summary

Millennium High Alternative is a very small public high school serving just 61 students in grades 9-12 within the highly-ranked Piedmont City Unified district, designed as an alternative setting for students who may benefit from a non-traditional educational approach.

As an alternative school, it serves a different purpose than the district's comprehensive Piedmont High. While its standardized test scores are lower than the district's exceptional average, it achieves a perfect 100% graduation rate, demonstrating success in helping at-risk students complete their diplomas. The school invests significantly more per student ($28,131) and maintains a very low student-teacher ratio (13:1), allowing for more individualized support, though it does face a challenge with chronic student absenteeism.

When compared to other alternative schools in the area, such as Street Academy Alternative High or Dewey Academy High in Oakland Unified, Millennium shows much stronger academic and graduation outcomes. Its performance is also competitive with or exceeds several nearby comprehensive and charter high schools in Oakland, highlighting the advantage of its placement within a well-resourced district that supports diverse educational pathways for students.
