East Oakland Pride Elementary

Summary:

East Oakland Pride Elementary is a public elementary school serving 331 students in grades K-5 in the Oakland Unified School District. The school has consistently ranked among the lowest-performing elementary schools in California over the past decade, with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

East Oakland Pride Elementary faces significant challenges, including extremely high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 26.6% to 69.7% in recent years. Academically, the school's students perform well below their peers in the district and state, with only 6.67% proficient or better in English Language Arts and 2.91% in math. The school struggles to serve its diverse student population, with African American, Hispanic, English Learner, Special Education, and Socioeconomically Disadvantaged students all ranking in the bottom 10-15% of their respective subgroups statewide. The school's high rate of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 89.88% to 94.86%, indicates a high concentration of students from low-income families.

The challenges at East Oakland Pride Elementary are not unique, as the other nearby schools, such as Highland Community, EnCompass Academy, and Markham Elementary, also perform poorly and have similar issues with chronic absenteeism and academic achievement. This suggests systemic issues within the Oakland Unified School District that extend beyond a single school. However, the nearby charter schools, such as Aspire Triumph Technology Academy and Francophone Charter School of Oakland, generally outperform the district schools, highlighting the potential benefits of alternative educational models in addressing the needs of this community.

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.
