EnCompass Academy Elementary

EnCompass Academy Elementary sits in the Elmhurst neighborhood of East Oakland, a tight-knit community that often flies under the radar compared to Oakland's more talked-about districts. The school has a strong focus on social-emotional learning and community engagement, which tends to resonate with families looking for a school that sees kids as whole people, not just test scores. While academic performance metrics are still developing, families who are rooted in the neighborhood and value a school deeply connected to its surrounding community will find a welcoming, mission-driven environment here.
