School Overview

Tucked into the hills above Oakland near the Joaquin Miller Park neighborhood, this elementary draws families who want a solid academic foundation without leaving the warmth of a tight-knit community behind. Scores lean noticeably above the district average, with math and science in particular standing out, making it a good fit for families who prioritize STEM alongside strong English fundamentals. The surrounding area has a woodsy, quieter feel compared to much of Oakland — think tree-lined streets, easy trail access, and a neighborhood vibe that feels a world away from the flatlands while still being very much part of the city's fabric.
