Oxford Day Academy scores 29 of 100 on SchoolScope's Scope Score — the 22nd percentile of 2,160 California high schools (CDE CAASPP 2025).

Measures test performance, attendance, and climate — not arts, community, or your kid. How we score →

Most rating sites would stop at “12% proficient” and call it done. Oxford Day Academy deserves a closer read. The school sits in East Palo Alto, where two-thirds of students qualify for free or reduced lunch — and reading the numbers without that context misreads the school.

Test scores are one lens, and at this school they're a rough one right now. The sections below show the fuller picture — including the parts that are working.

As a charter, Oxford Day Academy enrolls by application, not address — the score reads the same, the enrollment path doesn't.

Unlike single-number ratings, the Scope Score shows what drives the ranking so parents can decide what matters most to their family. See full methodology.
