Summary:

ZIP code 94612 has three schools: one middle school, Oakland School for the Arts and Envision Academy for Arts & Technology are high schools, while Westlake Middle serves middle grades. The high schools’ test results are from 2024–25; Westlake’s latest results are from 2025–26, so those scores should not be directly ranked against the high schools’ earlier results. Achievement varies substantially across the ZIP code, with Oakland leading the same-year high-school comparison and Westlake’s latest results far below its state benchmarks.

Oakland School for the Arts stands out among the high schools: in 2024–25, it scored 62% in ELA and 40% in science, respectively 13 and 7 points above the state; its 34% in math was 4 points below. It led Envision Academy for Arts & Technology by 25 points in ELA, 17 in math, and 30 in science. Envision was below the state in all three subjects: 36% in ELA, 17% in math, and 11% in science. Westlake Middle was below its 2025–26 state figures by 35 points in ELA, 28 in math, and 32 in science—the clearest low result in the latest reported year.

Westlake’s one-year trend was mixed: from 2024–25 to 2025–26, its math score rose by 2 points, while ELA fell by 2 points and science fell by 8. SchoolDigger’s rank percentile for Oakland declined from 94 in 2022–23 to 82 in 2024–25; Envision’s rose from 47 to 57, despite its below-state scores; Westlake’s moved from 4 to 6 and back to 4. The 2024–25 student–teacher ratios were 20.5 at Oakland, 17.2 at Envision, and 12.5 at Westlake. Their 2024–25 free/reduced lunch eligible figures were 29%, 74%, and 92%, respectively. These are useful context, not explanations for the differences in results.
