Summary:
The Alameda Unified School District consists of 15 schools, including 9 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 4 high schools. The district as a whole is ranked 239 out of 1,568 districts in California and is rated 4 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger.
The district has a mix of high-performing and low-performing schools. Alameda High School and Alameda Science and Technology Institute are the top-ranked schools in the district, with exceptional graduation rates, low dropout rates, and strong test scores that exceed district and state averages. Lincoln Middle School is also a standout, ranking as the highest-performing middle school in the district. On the other hand, Island High (Continuation) struggles with much lower graduation rates, higher dropout rates, and significantly lower test scores.
The performance of schools in the district appears to be closely tied to the socioeconomic status of their student populations. Schools with higher free/reduced lunch rates, such as Ruby Bridges Elementary and Island High (Continuation), tend to have worse outcomes across the board. Addressing these disparities and ensuring all students have access to a high-quality education should be a key priority for the Alameda Unified School District.
