Achieve Academy understands that learning is fostered in families and communities, as well as in the school. They have a history of successfully partnering with service providers, like EBAC, to support learning in a variety of creative ways. As a Senior Director at EBAC, I urge you support the charter renewal. This type of stability will continue to allow for long -term and effective planning to foster student sucess in the Fruitvale community.
I have worked in public education for 23 years, and at Lighthouse for 16 years. I have stayed at this institution for so long because I have witnessed the impact it has had on individuals, families, and the community over time. The last five years have been challenging, no doubt. The death of one of the school's founders and central figures, Steve Sexton, took time to recover from. Despite these obstacles and the challenges of the global pandemic and distance learning, I believe our institution is making positive and significant strides forward this year. As you consider whether or not to renew our charter, I urge you to consider the last few years in context of the bigger picture and all Lighthouse has done for two decades in Oakland.

Achieve Academy serves an incredibly high needs, diverse population. Their approach to distance learning has been extremely responsive and agile, hosting support for families at the school and through home visits to ensure NO family is left behind. This kind of responsiveness and inclusivity is the kind of practice and approach we need across all of our schools in Oakland. The commitment to serving students with a range of learning needs is also an outstanding reason why Achieve is such a strong part of Oakland's community of schools. On behalf of Families in Action for Quality Education, we urge you to renew the charter petition for Achieve Academy.
My daughter attend a public school she in the 1st grade. Her teacher at the time told me mid Feb that she was going to have my daughter repeat the1st grade because she did not know how to read. I set up a meeting with the principal I wanted a responds to why should my daughter have to repeat 1st grade. I didn't get a call back so my friend told me about Achieve. I took the chance and I enrolled her to achieve. When she started school the teacher was very helpful. The teacher gave me tips in how i could help her in her reading. as the months went by I seen how my baby was learning more and more and not just reading but in everything. My daughter attended the summer reading program at Achieve by the end of the summer she was at 2nd grade reading level. From not knowing how to read in Middle of Feb to mid July she knew how to read. My daughter is still at Achieve she has had AMZING teachers. They take their time and help their student's in achieving their goals. This why I choose Achieve.
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.
Students have so much potential to grow if they have enough support from school. Achieve has been doing an amazing job supporting our students academically and socially, and Achieve deeply cares about families and put a lot of effort to serve and take care of them.
Amo a los profesores, enseñan muy bien a los alumnos y aprenden mucho porque es una muy buena escuela y nuestros niños aprenden mucho. Es una escuela con buena docencia y sobre todo segura para mi hijo.
Me encanta lograrlo porque tiene muy buenos profesores. Me gustaría mucho renovar porque tengo una chica que en el futuro me gustaría estar en Achieve. No me gustaría ninguna otra escuela para ella más que Achieve. Porque durante más de 10 años mi hermana menor estudió en Achieve y desde ese momento esa escuela ha sido la mejor en esta área y sabía que mis hijos irían a esa escuela.
Me gusta la profesionalidad del personal. Debe renovar nuestra carta para que nuestros estudiantes puedan seguir aprendiendo. Es una escuela segura y mis hijos se sienten cómodos estando allí.
Me encanta Todo sobre Achieve, sus maestros, la forma de educar a los niños de la mejor manera, la forma en que se organizan, una de las mejores escuelas por eso me gusta esta escuela para mi hijo Porque muchos niños como mi hijo perderían su escuela Porque mi hijo ha aprendido muchas cosas en tan poco tiempo, su sistema de aprendizaje es muy bueno para los niños que están atrasados, sin duda los mejores maestros y una de las mejores escuelas.
