That said, Oakland Unified operates on a district-wide “school of choice” system at every grade level, meaning families can apply to and rank other options such as the highly-rated Oakland Technical High School rather than being locked into their neighborhood assignment. Because assignments can vary by exact address and enrollment policies can shift year to year, we always encourage buyers to confirm directly using the Oakland Unified School District Interactive Public School Map.
