School Overview

Elmhurst United Middle sits in the deep east side of Oakland, a neighborhood with a strong sense of community identity and a student population that reflects the city's rich cultural diversity. The school faces real academic challenges, and families considering it should know that English and math scores are among the lowest in the state — though science shows a bit more strength. For families already rooted in the area who are looking to get involved and advocate for their kids, understanding those gaps upfront is the first step to navigating the experience well.
