School Overview

Castlemont High sits in the deep east side of Oakland, a part of the city that's tight-knit and proud, even if it doesn't always get the attention it deserves. Families here are navigating a genuinely challenging academic environment — test scores rank among the lowest in California — and will want to closely explore what support systems and programs the school offers their student. For families committed to staying in the neighborhood and advocating alongside their community, understanding what Castlemont is working toward matters just as much as where it stands today.
