Teacher Turnover
data.oaklandca.gov | Last Updated 2018-10-01T22:14:31.000ZThe measurement is percent of teachers who turned over between the 2016-17 and 2017-18 school years at OUSD schools (data from charters and private schools were not available). Turnover percents are calculated at a school level out of the total number of teachers at that school. Schools are placed into groups based on the racial and ethnic breakdown of their student population (see note below data table for full explanation of grouping). Average teacher turnover percent is then calculated for each group of schools.

Teacher Experience
data.oaklandca.gov | Last Updated 2018-10-01T22:14:11.000ZThe measurement is percent of teachers who were paid on salary steps 1-5 at OUSD schools (data from charters and private schools were not available). Salary steps are a proxy for teaching experience, as teachers move one step up the salary schedule for each year of teaching. In theory, teachers on salary steps 1-5 have between 1-5 years of teaching experience (not just in OUSD, but anywhere). However, it is important to note that salary steps are just a proxy and not always exactly equal to years of teaching experience. Percents are then calculated at the school level by dividing the number of teachers on salary steps 1-5 by the total number of teachers at that school. Schools are placed into groups based on the racial and ethnic breakdown of their student population (see note below data table for full explanation of grouping). Average percent of teachers on salary steps 1-5 is then calculated for each group of schools.

High School Readiness
data.oaklandca.gov | Last Updated 2018-10-01T22:14:23.000ZThe measurement is percent of students by race/ethnicity who are not high school ready by the end of 8th grade. High school readiness is calculated by OUSD. A student is considered high school ready when all of the following have been met at the end of 8th grade: 1) Total weighted GPA of 2.5 of better, 2) School Attendance 96% or better, 3) No “Ds” or “Fs” in their core English and Math course grades in 8th grade, 4) No suspensions in 8th grade.

Access to Healthy Financial Institutions
data.oaklandca.gov | Last Updated 2018-10-01T22:14:41.000ZThis Indicator measures access to different types of financial institutions by zip code. “Good” institutions include banks, credit unions, and savings institutions. “Bad” institutions include check cashing services, money transfer services, and payday loan institutions. The ratio between the number of bad institutions and the number of good institutions is calculated for each zip code. A higher ratio of bad-to-good institutions means that there are disproportionately more bad institutions in a given zip code. The Indicator then measures the ratio of these ratios, comparing zip codes in which more than 60% of the population is non- White to those in which more than 60% of the population is White. The third category of zip codes is those in which the population is racially and ethnically mixed.

High School On-Time Completion
data.oaklandca.gov | Last Updated 2018-10-01T22:14:20.000ZThis Indicator measures the percent of students who are still enrolled in high school after four years. Data is also provided on percent who graduated/completed high school within four years and percent who dropped out. The most recent year of OUSD graduation data is from 2015-16, so the cohort began 9th grade in 2012-13. Students who leave OUSD (but not from dropping out) are removed from the cohort, and students who enroll after 9th grade are added. GED completion and Special Ed Certification are included as types of completion.

Suspensions
data.oaklandca.gov | Last Updated 2018-10-01T22:14:42.000ZThe measurement is percent of OUSD students by race/ethnicity who were suspended at any point in the school year. This is only measuring out-of-school suspensions, not on-campus suspensions or office referrals that did not result in removing a student from school. It includes all students who were enrolled at any point during the school year for any number of days.

Incarceration
data.oaklandca.gov | Last Updated 2020-11-10T16:11:47.455ZThe Incarceration Topic includes three Indicators that measure racial and ethnic disparities in adult felony arrests, jail incarceration, and prison incarceration. The first Indicator measures disparities in adult felony arrests between African Americans and Asians. The second Indicator measures disparities in jail incarceration between African Americans and Asians. The third Indicator measures disparities in prison incarceration between African Americans and Asians. In all three indicator areas the disparities between African American and White residents were nearly as large.

Adult Felony Arrests
data.oaklandca.gov | Last Updated 2018-10-01T22:14:15.000ZThis Indicator measures the rate of adult felony arrests by race/ethnicity adjusted for population. Rate is calculated as the number of adult felony arrests per 100,000 people of each race/ethnicity that are 18 years of age and older. To determine the number of adults of each race/ethnicity in Oakland, we took the population by race/ethnicity for all ages and multiplied by the percent of Oakland’s population that is 18 and over (80.33%). This approach was necessary due to the lack of exact data available on the 18 and over population in Oakland by race/ethnicity.
