Seeking Oakland School spreadsheet
Hi - I am a mom of a 4 year old and i am looking to create a spreadsheet to begin looking at options for Oakland Public schools and charter schools. I was wondering if anyone might have this information already organized into a spreadsheet of schools. Some things I might include on this are name, location, # of K classrooms, level of impact, pro/cons. I'm about to create one but would prefer not to reinvent the wheel of someone would be willing to share. Thanks, Andrea

I’d say don’t even bother because OUSD just assigns you to your neighbhood school no matter what you put down 99% of the time.
You might get into a desirable charter or Kaiser elementary but not much else.
Good luck
I don't have such a thing, but found the SARCs to be an interesting starting point - https://www.ousd.org/domain/56
Having just gone through the process, be careful when you fill out your list if you live in a very popular district. We did not get placed in our neighborhood school, and were placed in a school not on our list as I had only put 4 on our list thinking that one of those would certainly have a spot. I did not know this at the time, but if you do not get placed into a school on your list, then you will be placed in another school in your middle school district. In our case, that school was not a good match for us.
