As a relatively new teacher at Lighthouse, I feel very privileged to be part of such an outstanding educational program. I truly love the curriculum and the community based way in which we operate. I have been teaching for 20 years and I am continually impressed by the level of professionalism and dedication of our entire staff. Our students are always put at the forefront in decision making, Please Renew Lighthouse!!
Me siento orgullosa de esta escuela donde pude lograr que entraran mis hijos y quiero que sigan ahí hasta que se gradúen y porque es una maravillosa escuela donde todos los maestros saben enseñarle a los niños
For nearly 20 years, Lighthouse Community Public Schools have been a beacon for public education where each graduate fulfills the promise of a better, brighter Oakland. Our schools are innovative models for public education that puts each child at the center of their own learning, and our results speak to our success. During the pandemic, Lighthouse has made sure, all students had the technology, internet, food, and support, to stay engaged, in distance learning!!! Fundraising also was increased to provide needy families with cash assistance!
Lighthouse has earned a 5-year extension on its Charter Renewal, and I support them 100%.
Lighthouse has worked hard to be granted a 5-year renewal of its charter. The school is committed to listening to family input, improving outcomes for all students, and delivering high-quality instruction that is developmentally appropriate for each student. We are excited to build on our strengths and be pushed to grow in the areas that need more special attention.
Please renew Achieve Academy's contract! We at Achieve are a thriving and supportive community of students and families with a dedicated staff that ensures the highest quality of care and education to all of our students. Renew Achieve, Renew Achieve, Please renew Achieve Academy!
My name is Sandra Dueñas Cuevas a 44 year resident of Oakland. I am a proud founding Parent of LightHouse Community Charter School. As parents we want the best education for our children. I have experienced that the Charter School I’ve chosen is good path to success. We wanted to see our children succeed and graduate from college we believe our kids deserved the best education, and to this day three out of my four children have graduated from Lighthouse and have been successful. Attended College (Dominican, UCLA and and San Jose State) We are grateful of Lighthouse for its way of preparing each student to success and the continued support into college. We have a 14 year old attending Lighthouse. I am asking if you can please grant the renewal for Lighthouse.
I am a teacher at Achieve Academy and love the dedication that our staff has for being part of the local community and holding all of our students (including those with IEPs) to high academic standards. In my 12+ years of teaching I have never seen a school be as thoughtful and creative about how to stretch limited resources to have the biggest impact. Our partnerships with community organizations and foundations allow us to provide every student with multiple adults each year that provide academic, intervention, and SEL instruction, as well as enrichment activities. As a result students are making phenomenal growth in reading and math, but also gaining confidence and motivation to try their best at school I have chosen to work at Achieve because I believe it is where my passion can combine with that of others to have the largest impact on a group of amazing young people with huge potential that have been historically underserved. Please allow us to continue this work.
Lighthouse charter has been a community hub and center of support. Before and even now with the covid guidelines. Being able to have a staff and community that does above and beyond to give every student a fair chance to have the tools, support, and guidance for life. Please renew Lighthouse charter.
All I’m asking that our school will be renewed for another five years we are thriving and thriving the children are learning I am very proud to say that my grandchildren has a IEP and everything is working in our favor please grant us another five years thank you
Hello,
Please renew Lighthouse. It is vital for all these children to be able to be in a school/where they feel safe. And where they are accepted as individuals. This school has given amazing support to my child and I thru difficult times. My child loves going to school and is always excited to get up in the morning. And even thru the pandemic, Lighthouse has been able to pivot and improve distance learning! It is dedicated to ensuring all students - especially first-generation college-goers - are ready for the rigors of high school and on the path to college! Renew Lighthouse!
Lighthouse Community Charter School has been a bastion of quality instruction for almost two decades. It has delivered on its mission of preparing students for college and will continue to do so when it is renewed. During the pandemic, Lighthouse has been able to pivot and improve distance learning!

I believe that charter schools are better because the teachers are more supportive to the students and the students are more involved in class work
