Oakland Unified School District Case Study: Oakland International High School

This case study is one of six conducted for the report, Oakland Unified School District: New Small Schools Initiative Evaluation. It explores the successes and challenges in opening a new International High School in Oakland based upon the Internationals model. Through looking at OIHS’s student population, evidence of success, school history, key design features, and the intersection between the school reality and district policies, this case study investigates the ways in which OIHS has been supported as a school and as an effective model for working with newcomer ELLs at the high school level.
