Compared only with other alternative schools: higher than 1 of the 97 other scored California alternative high schools.
The dots are California’s 98 scored alternative high schools, placed by Scope Score on spring 2025 tests. Why not spring 2026? High school scores include graduation and college-readiness records, which the state publishes a year after the tests. How it’s built →

Academic achievement
6% of the 16 students tested scored Proficient or Advanced in English (reading and writing); 6% did in math.
State tests (CAASPP), grade 11, spring 2026
In grade 11, spring 2026, 6% of the 16 students tested scored Proficient or Advanced in English, against 33% at California alternative schools. In math, 6% did, against 14% at California alternative schools. Fewer than 30 students tested, so one year can swing a lot; ask how results looked in other years.
From spring 2026, the state calls its top two levels “Proficient or Advanced” (formerly “Met or Exceeded”).

What you can do
Oakland Unified’s board decides Street Academy Alternative’s plan.
The state hasn’t placed Street Academy Alternative in a support program. Federal designation under the Every Student Succeeds Act, 2025–26. Source
The state is giving Oakland Unified extra help in 2026. It qualified on the 2025 and 2026 California School Dashboards. The 2026 Dashboard flagged results for English learners on two measures: English, and progress in learning English. The county office must help the district for at least three years, including a review of its yearly plan.

Street Academy Alternative High is ranked only among California alternative high schools, so this table sets it beside no other school; the chapters above compare each figure with that class. School values are from 2024–25. Chronic absence and suspension are CDE's all-students school rates; the score uses an adjusted version of each that pulls small schools toward the average.

CDE's overall Prepared rate is the college-readiness factor in the Scope Score (20% of the high school score). The school rate is 1 of 32 CCI students, not the AP-only pathway or A–G completion rate. The school CCI rate has its own student cohort and source year.
These source periods and populations differ: graduation uses an adjusted cohort, while A–G completion and college-going use separately reported groups. The rates are shown individually, without a shared performance tier.
