Summary:
Zip code 94607 has 17 listed schools—six elementary, two middle and nine high schools—with results that vary widely across the Oakland-area schools. In 2025–26, the average reported schoolwide proficiency was 32% in ELA, 23% in math and 22% in science, compared with state averages of 49%, 38% and 36%. The most important finding for families is that these area averages conceal sharply different results from school to school.
Among schools reporting 2025–26 results, American Indian Public Charter School II had the highest all-grades ELA result at 58%, 9 points above the state; Lincoln Elementary led in math at 67% and science at 59%, respectively 28 and 23 points above state results. Yu Ming Charter was a standout in 2024–25, with 84% ELA, 88% math and 71% science—35, 51 and 38 points above that year’s state rates. At the lower end, Ralph J. Bunche Continuation High reported 0% in ELA and science; its math score was suppressed. McClymonds High had 5% proficiency in science, and Martin Luther King Junior Elementary had 5% in math. In grade 11, KIPP Esperanza High was a subject-specific bright spot: its 37% math result was 5 points above the state.
Recent changes and other measures offer context, but no single pattern applies to every school. From 2024–25 to 2025–26, Lincoln’s ELA and math results fell by 3 and 1 points while science rose by 10; Gateway to College High at Laney College increased science by 19 points. SchoolDigger’s statewide percentile for LPS Oakland R & D Campus rose from 12 to 29 between 2023–24 and 2025–26, while AIMS College Prep High fell from 89 in 2022–23 to 47 in 2024–25. Student–teacher ratios also differ: Lincoln’s was 24.1 and McClymonds’ 10.8. As context, both Lincoln and Prescott Elementary reported free/reduced lunch eligible shares for 2024–25—79% and 95%—alongside very different results; these figures describe students’ circumstances, not a cause of school outcomes.
