Summary

Alameda County Community is a K–12 alternative school in Hayward, California, with 73 students, in the Alameda County Office of Education (ACOE). In 2025–2026, graduation was 26%, compared with 66% in ACOE and 88% statewide. The clearest concern is attendance: chronic absenteeism reached 91%, versus 17% in ACOE and 18% statewide; among nearby schools with a reported figure, only Independent Study Sojourner Truth was next highest, at 65%.

Reported test results are also at the bottom of nearby comparisons. In 2025–2026, 0% of students were proficient in all-grades ELA and 0% in math, tying Alameda County Juvenile Hall/Court for the lowest reported results in both subjects among nearby schools with results. Statewide, proficiency was 49% in ELA and 38% in math; in ACOE, it was 10% and 8%, respectively. Math is somewhat closer to state and district levels than ELA, but neither subject shows a reported area of proficiency. The all-grades science result and several grade-level results are suppressed, so no conclusion can be drawn for them.

The available history shows no improvement in math and a decline in ELA: ELA proficiency fell from 18% in 2022–2023 to 7% in 2024–2025 and 0% in 2025–2026, while math remained at 0% in all three reported years. The ELA gap with the state widened by 21 points over the available period. As context, 59% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–2025, below the comparable nearby-school average of 65%; the student–teacher ratio was 13.8, near the middle of nearby ratios. SchoolDigger’s ranking is for ACOE—not the school—and places the district 443rd of 968 districts, in the 54th percentile, with 3 stars.
