Tours & Enrollment

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

All students attending an OUSD school for the first time must complete enrollment applications.  Applications for the 2025-2026 school year open on December 1, 2024.

In order for your child to begin kindergarten in August 2025, your child must be 5 years old by September 1, 2025.

Transitional Kindergarten ("TK") Program

For the 2025-2026 school year, Crocker Highlands will have one TK class of 20-22 students, but, due to space constraints, it will be located at Kaiser Early Childhood Center, 25 S. Hill Road in Oakland.

Crocker neighborhood and sibling priority will apply for this TK class even though it is not on site.  All students who enroll in the Crocker TK class for the 2025-2026 school year will be automatically enrolled in kindergarten at Crocker for the 2026-2027 school year. 

For more information about OUSD TK programs, please visit the OUSD website.

First and Second Grade Availability

Crocker will also have spots available for the 2025-2026 school year to enroll 5-10 first graders and 6-12 second graders.  Please consider applying.

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 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. They are located at 746 Grand Avenue, and that phone number accepts both calls and texts.
