Greenleaf

Summary:

Greenleaf is an elementary school located in Oakland, California, serving grades K-8 with a total enrollment of 618 students. It is part of the Oakland Unified School District, which is ranked 1160 out of 1568 districts in California and has a 1-star rating out of 5 from SchoolDigger.

Greenleaf faces significant challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates, low academic performance, and a high percentage of students from low-income families. The school's chronic absenteeism rate has risen from 9.8% in 2017-2018 to 55.9% in 2022-2023, much higher than the district and state averages. Academically, Greenleaf students perform significantly below the district and state averages in both English Language Arts/Literacy and Mathematics. In 2023-2024, only 20.54% of Greenleaf students were proficient or better in English Language Arts/Literacy, compared to 33.09% for the district and 47.04% for the state. In Mathematics, the proficiency rate at Greenleaf was just 13.49%, compared to 25.56% for the district and 35.54% for the state. Additionally, 92.72% of Greenleaf students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a predominantly underprivileged student population.

The challenges faced by Greenleaf are not unique to the school; nearby schools in the Oakland Unified School District, such as Bridges @ Melrose Academy Elementary, Horace Mann Elementary, and Lockwood STEAM Academy Elementary, also struggle with low academic performance and high chronic absenteeism rates. However, one nearby school, Melrose Leadership Academy, stands out with significantly higher academic performance and a lower chronic absenteeism rate, suggesting that targeted interventions and support can make a difference in these communities.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

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.
