		<description><![CDATA[Five years ago, the three high schools on East Oakland&#8217;s Castlemont campus had almost 1,300 students. That number has dwindled to 700 &#8212; a 45 percent drop. The Fremont campus, also in East Oakland, has seen a similar slide. A decade ago, more than 2,000 students went to school there. Now, there are just 940. [...]]]></description>

They&#8217;re all middle schools: Alliance Academy, Elmhurst Community Prep, Explore Middle School, ROOTS International and United for Success Academy.
