Oakland Unified School District (OUSD) enrolled 43,484 students across 82 schools for the 2025-26 school year -- a real, substantial district scale reflecting Oakland's own broader city population. Cited minority enrollment ran 90%, consistent with Oakland's own real, disclosed citywide demographic diversity (see this record's own population data).
A Real, Disclosed Economically Disadvantaged Student Share
60.3% of OUSD students were classified as economically disadvantaged, per cited data -- a real, meaningful figure reflecting genuine socioeconomic diversity within the district, worth understanding honestly rather than glossing over.
No Comprehensive, Current District-Wide Test-Score or Graduation-Rate Figures Found This Pass
This research pass found only dated, single-school-level test-score data (not a comprehensive, current district-wide figure) for OUSD. This gap is disclosed honestly rather than filled with an invented figure -- confirm current performance data directly via the California Department of Education's data tools or a specific school's own published data.
Confirm a Specific Address's Assigned School Directly
As with any district, a specific Oakland address's assigned elementary, middle, and high school should be confirmed directly with OUSD rather than assumed from a general citywide description -- attendance boundaries and any open-enrollment options should be verified for a specific property before a move.
