School Choice |
|
Every year, OUSD runs an enrollment lottery for student placement across the district for the following school year. Families submit applications for their top choices in the winter and receive a school assignment offer letter in the spring. Families can elect to accept or decline the assignment generated by the lottery. Note that all applicants are also placed on waitlists for those schools that they ranked higher than the school for which they received an offer.

Demand Rates
|
We calculate demand rate as the # of on time first choice applications submitted by the first lottery deadline for each school's entry grade level (TK,K, 6, or 9) divided by the # of students who are enrolled in the school in that grade level on census day in October of year following application submission. Demand rates provide an approximate way to measure how many more or fewer families submit 1st choice applications than seats that are filled. A % above 100% means that more families applied than enrolled. A % below 100% means that fewer families applied than enrolled.

Advanced Comparisons
As we develop more ways to look at school choice across Oakland, additional dashboards will be added here. One resource that is already available for prior years is the Strategic Regional Analysis, which contains information on a variety of measures including school choice up to the 2017-18 school year.
