Summary

Community School for Creative Education is a 252-student K–8 school in Oakland. In 2025–26, its results were slightly above its reported district figures in English language arts and math and substantially higher in science, but well below California’s overall results in all three subjects. Chronic absenteeism was also high: 39% at the school, compared with 17% in the district and 18% statewide. Most importantly, proficiency was 14% in ELA, 9% in math and 20% in science, versus 49%, 38% and 36% statewide.

Science is the school’s strongest area relative to nearby schools: its 20% result was 4 percentage points above their average of 16%, though still below the state. ELA and math results were below nearby-school averages. Results also vary by grade: eighth-grade ELA was a relative bright spot at 33%, while fourth-grade ELA was 0%; sixth- and seventh-grade math were also 0%. The district comparison is more favorable: the school was ahead of Alameda County Office of Education by 4 points in ELA, 1 point in math and 14 points in science. SchoolDigger ranks the school at the 2nd percentile statewide, with 0 stars, in 2025–26.

SchoolDigger’s ranking has fallen from the 26th percentile in 2017–18 to the 2nd percentile in 2025–26, a decline of 24 percentile points; the available ranking snapshots are not continuous. A notable historical result is that SchoolDigger ranked how well the school served English Language Learner Students at the 63rd percentile in 2017–18, compared with the school’s overall 26th percentile that year; no current ELL ranking is provided. The latest listed student-teacher ratio is 49.1, from 2017–18, while nearby schools’ ratios were 22.6–26.6 in 2024–25. The last reported low-income measure was 71% free/reduced lunch eligible in 2017–18, with no current entry. Test scores are available only for 2025–26, third-grade ELA and math results are state-suppressed, nearby all-grade comparisons are directional because most serve K–5, and the ratio figures are from different years.
