Summary:
Zip code 94561 in Oakley, California, is served by one public high school, Freedom High, which educates approximately 2,460 students in grades 9-12 within the Liberty Union High school district.
Freedom High presents a mixed academic profile for families. On one hand, the school excels at supporting students to graduation, with a 96.4% graduation rate that surpasses both district and state averages. However, standardized test scores reveal significant challenges, particularly in mathematics, where only 13.99% of students are proficient, a rate far below state and district averages. While English proficiency is above the state average, science scores are also below average, and the school's overall state ranking has declined over the past three years.
Key areas for parents to consider include the school's high chronic absenteeism rate of 25.1% and the notable gap between its strong graduation outcomes and lower academic proficiency, especially in math. The school's resources, with a student-teacher ratio of 21.5:1 and per-student spending over $15,000, are comparable to state norms, suggesting the focus for improvement may be on how those resources are applied to address specific academic weaknesses and attendance issues.
