Cox Academy

Cox Academy sits in the Elmhurst neighborhood of East Oakland, a part of the city with deep roots and a tight-knit community feel that often gets overlooked in conversations about Oakland schools. As a charter elementary, it offers families in this zip code a structured option with some notable strength in math relative to its peers, and it serves a population where many students are working against real socioeconomic headwinds. Families who are invested in being active partners in their child's education and want a smaller, community-based setting rather than a large traditional public school may find Cox worth a close look.
