Our growing list of elementary schools have a lot going for them, but are often overlooked.

There are 75 public elementary schools in Oakland, but many parents have only a handful on their radar.

We know that there are more than a few excellent schools in Oakland. We hope to feature many more schools as we grow.

If a school isn’t on this list, don’t fret. Look them up on ChooseOUSD.org, go to a tour, look beyond a single score, and find out what’s great about them. And let us know!
