North Oakland Community Charter

Summary:

North Oakland Community Charter is a public charter elementary school serving 119 students in grades K-5 in Oakland, California. The school is part of the North Oakland Community Charter District, which is ranked 1369 out of 1568 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

North Oakland Community Charter has consistently ranked in the bottom quartile of California elementary schools, with only 30.51% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts/Literacy and 18.64% proficient in Mathematics, compared to state averages of 47.04% and 35.54%, respectively. The school's performance lags significantly behind nearby Piedmont Avenue Elementary, which had higher proficiency rates in both subjects. North Oakland Community Charter also faces notable performance gaps between different student subgroups, with African American students performing relatively better but multi-racial and low-income students performing much worse.

Additionally, North Oakland Community Charter has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 19.7%, significantly higher than the state average, and a student-teacher ratio of 39.6, which is much higher than nearby schools. These challenges suggest that the school and the surrounding Oakland Unified community face significant socioeconomic barriers that may be contributing to the academic performance issues. However, the school's performance in certain areas and the shared challenges of nearby schools indicate that there may be opportunities for improvement through targeted interventions and collaborative efforts.

Wednesday, November 10, 2021

I have been incredibly impressed by the quality of the experience at NOCCS. The teachers are phenomenal, the leadership is incredibly dedicated and inclusive, but more than anything, I am astounded by the remarkable community they have fostered. My child is a first grader, so I was able to watch firsthand last year how, in the midst of a pandemic and remote learning, NOCCS made her feel welcome, connected, and included. I am so glad we are a part of this community and grateful that my children are able to benefit by being a member of this school. Close Quote

I have never seen teachers and staff members that care more about students in my life! Everyone cares for the well-being of each student's health/wellness, education, citizenship, and heart. The parents come together to support their kids and the community-we are a family here :) Close Quote

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
