Tours & Enrollment

Welcome! Crocker Highlands is a TK-5 public school within the Oakland Unified School District (OUSD).

All students attending an OUSD school for the first time must complete enrollment applications.  Applications for the 2027-2028 school year will open in December.

In order for your child to begin kindergarten in August 2027, your child must be 5 years old by September 1, 2027.

Transitional Kindergarten ("TK") Program

For the 2027-2028 school year, Crocker Highlands will have two TK classes of 24 students. Due to space constraints, they will be located at Kaiser Early Childhood Center, 25 S. Hill Road in Oakland, and Fruitvale Elementary, 3200 Boston Ave.

Crocker neighborhood and sibling priority will apply for these TK classes even though they are not located on site.  All students who enroll in the Crocker TK class for the 2027-2028 school year will be automatically enrolled in kindergarten at Crocker for the 2028-2029 school year.

Enrollment Options

The School Options Open Enrollment Program requires all students new to OUSD, rising 6th and 9th graders, and all others who want to change schools to submit an application to attend a school in the fall. In assigning students to schools, OUSD gives top priority to children with continuing siblings at the school. After that, Opportunity Ticket holders (children entering 1st – 5th whose school campuses are closing), neighborhood children, then children from other parts of the city get placed at the school. There is no guarantee that neighborhood children will get into the closest school if there are more applicants than available spaces.  

School sites have no role in assigning students to their schools. All admission requests and questions should be directed to the OUSD Student Welcome Center at (510) 434-7790, located at 746 Grand Avenue. That phone number accepts both calls and texts.
