School Overview

Laurel Elementary sits in the lively Laurel District of East Oakland, a neighborhood known for its independent restaurants, murals, and tight-knit community feel — a genuinely charming pocket of the city that often surprises newcomers. The school draws families who are deeply rooted in the area and value being part of an urban community, though academics here are a work in progress, with test scores currently below state averages in English and Math. Families who prioritize neighborhood schools and community connection over rankings may find a welcoming home here, and the stronger science numbers suggest there are bright spots worth building on.
