Economic need runs somewhat above the state's typical profile, with 72.1% of students eligible for free meals.
Enrollment of 335 puts it in the smaller third of California schools by headcount.
Its Resource Investment Index lands in the lower third of 9,998 scored California schools.
Among 1,461 similarly sized, similarly resourced-need California schools statewide, it ranks #1,164, in the lower tier once campus size and economic need are matched.
Its student body is predominantly Hispanic or Latino (81% of enrollment) (diversity index 33/100).

Among Oakland's elementary schools, it stands alongside Yu Ming Charter (959 students): Learning Without Limits is smaller than that campus by headcount and runs leaner classes (22.3:1 vs 24:1).
