Our school serves students in grades K-8 in Oakland and provides rigorous academics, quality teachers and a safe and supportive learning environment.. Our students and their families live in the middle of East Oakland, where high rates of poverty, gun violence, and drug use mean that our students face a multitude of obstacles on a daily basis in their pursuit of education. Despite the challenges that many of our students face, they are incredibly motivated to succeed, and our school is one of the highest performing middle schools in East Oakland. Many of our students come from Spanish speaking families, and over 30 percent are English Language Learners, which gives them a unique bilingual and multicultural perspective on their own education. Our goal is to prepare our students with skills necessary for success in high school and college.
