Summary:

ZIP code 94607 has two middle schools serving grades 6–8: AIMS College Prep Middle (200 students) and West Oakland Middle (165 students), for 365 students combined. The clearest shared-year comparison is from 2024–2025: AIMS led West Oakland in English language arts (ELA), math, and science, while West Oakland was below state results in all three subjects. The most important finding is how large and consistent the achievement gap is between the schools, especially in ELA and math.

AIMS stands out at the top of the local comparison: in 2024–2025, 46% of students were proficient in ELA, 42% in math, and 26% in science, leading West Oakland by 38, 36, and 15 percentage points, respectively. AIMS was 5 points above the state in math, but 3 points below in ELA and 6 below in science. West Oakland was at 8% in ELA, 7% in math, and 11% in science—41, 31, and 21 points below state results. SchoolDigger rated AIMS 3 stars and West Oakland 0 stars for 2024–2025.

West Oakland’s scores rose from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026: ELA increased by 3 percentage points, math by 1, and science by 3. Its gap with the state narrowed by 2 points in ELA, was nearly unchanged in math, and widened by 1 point in science. SchoolDigger’s rankings show AIMS moving from the 58th percentile in 2022–2023 to the 77th in 2023–2024, then the 63rd in 2024–2025; West Oakland remained near the bottom, at the 4th percentile in 2023–2024 and 3rd in the next two years. AIMS had a student-teacher ratio of 18.1 and 78% free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–2025; West Oakland’s ratio was 11 and 71% directly certified for free meals that year. These are different income measures and should not be treated as comparable rates. West Oakland also reported 34% chronic absenteeism in 2025–2026, compared with 18% statewide; AIMS’s 25% figure is from 2024–2025.
