About Alameda Unified School District

Alameda's public schools have been educating Alameda’s children since 1855, when the Schermerhorn School was built. Today, AUSD serves the needs of some 9000+ students from pre-school through adult school. Those students reflect the diversity of our community and the San Francisco Bay Area region, with 36% being Asian, 29% white, 16% Hispanic, 8% Black/African American, and 9% of two or more races. About 27% of our students are low income and 17% are English learners. To serve this diverse community of learners, AUSD’s nine elementary schools, three middle schools, and four high schools offer a wide range of educational opportunities, including neighborhood schools, STEAM programs, intervention services, arts integration, and newcomer classes for students who have recently arrived in this country. Our high schools have strong Career Technical Education programs, including broadcast journalism, sports medicine, childcare, and genomics, as well as a full array of honors, AP, and visual and performing arts classes. Our continuation program at Island High School supports students needing support to graduate; our magnet high school – the Alameda Science and Technology Institute – of...fers an Early College Program that provides students opportunities to earn college credits and/or an Associate of Arts degree while still enrolled in high school.
