Summary:
The 94601 zip code area of Oakland, California is home to 19 schools, including 11 elementary schools, 3 middle schools, and 5 high schools. This diverse community faces significant challenges, with high rates of economic disadvantage and chronic absenteeism, but some schools are standing out and achieving strong academic results.
Among the high schools, Fremont High and LIFE Academy are the standouts, with LIFE Academy boasting the highest 4-year graduation rate at 96.8% and the lowest dropout rate at 3.2%. LIFE Academy also outperforms the Oakland Unified district and the state in English Language Arts and Math proficiency. At the elementary and middle school level, Achieve Academy and Lazear Charter Academy stand out with the highest proficiency rates in the area, exceeding state averages.
However, the data also reveals stark disparities in academic performance, with some schools, such as Global Family Elementary and Manzanita Community Elementary, struggling significantly with very low proficiency rates. The high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 19.1% to 78.1%, and the high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, suggest that socioeconomic factors may be playing a significant role in student outcomes across the 94601 zip code area.
