The landscape of Oakland’s Foothill neighborhood is almost entirely residential, with practically no commercial activity mixed in. The homes in the community represent a broad range of budgets and architectural styles, from modern efficiency designs to beautiful Victorian and Queen Anne-styled houses, often on the same street.
Multiple public schools in the immediate area provide parents with convenient options for sending their kids to a school that’s close to home. A narrow sliver of the neighborhood follows Fruitvale Avenue up toward the Dimond District, with many houses near MacArthur Freeway enjoying easy access to the unique shopping and dining in this area.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
