CROCKER HIGHLANDS ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

Crocker Highlands Elementary is a public elementary school that is part of the Oakland Unified school district, located in Oakland, CA with about 473 students offering grade levels from Kindergarten to 5th Grade. With about 20 teachers, Crocker Highlands Elementary has a student/teacher ratio of about 23:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

Crocker Highlands Elementary School, located in the affluent Crocker Highlands neighborhood of Oakland, California, is widely regarded as one of the top-performing public elementary schools in the Oakland Unified School District. Serving students from transitional kindergarten through fifth grade, the school is well-known for its strong academic focus, high standardized test scores, and a dedicated community of parents and educators. Its location in a historic, tree-lined residential area contributes to a close-knit, neighborhood-focused atmosphere that prioritizes student engagement and a supportive learning environment.

Beyond its academic reputation, the school benefits from a highly active Parent Teacher Association (PTA) that funds a variety of enrichment programs, including visual arts, music, and physical education, which are often limited in other district schools. The school is also recognized for its focus on social-emotional learning and its efforts to create an inclusive environment. While its popularity often results in waitlists for those living outside the immediate attendance boundaries, Crocker Highlands remains a sought-after institution for families seeking a rigorous, community-supported public school experience in the East Bay.
