City - Oakland

Oakland sits on the eastern shore of San Francisco Bay, anchored by Lake Merritt—the nation's first official wildlife refuge—and backed by redwood-covered hills that stretch toward the horizon. As the county seat of Alameda County and a major port city, Oakland carries real economic weight in the Bay Area, drawing employers in technology, healthcare, logistics, and the arts. California College of the Arts and Mills College contribute to a strong creative and academic presence that shapes the city's character.

Neighborhoods here cover a wide range of personalities. Rockridge offers tree-lined streets and walkable retail along College Avenue, while Temescal draws those who want a lively, arts-forward atmosphere. Uptown sits close to the historic Fox Theater and Paramount Theatre, and Jack London Square puts residents at the waterfront with ferry access to San Francisco. The Oakland Hills neighborhoods like Montclair offer sweeping Bay views and proximity to regional parks.

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.
