Summary:
ZIP code 94602 includes four Oakland Unified schools: three elementary schools serving kindergarten through grade 5 and one middle school serving grades 6–9. In 2025–26, the two elementary schools with the strongest results were above state results in all three reported subjects, while the other two schools were below state results in each subject. The biggest takeaway is that results vary sharply from one school to another within the same ZIP code.

Glenview Elementary was next at 56% in ELA, 52% in math and 48% in science, also above the state in all three. Fruitvale Elementary had the lowest results in every subject: 10% in ELA, 8% in math and 0% in science. Bret Harte Middle scored 21%, 16% and 10%, respectively. The gap between the highest and lowest school was about 54 points in ELA, 51 in math and 50 in science.

SchoolDigger’s 2025–26 statewide rankings place Sequoia at the 80th percentile and Glenview at the 74th, compared with Bret Harte at the 10th and Fruitvale at the 1st.
