    Growing up in Oakland and attending Oakland Unified School District I sometime question my education due to my struggles in college. I felt I was not prepared in writing, reading, or speaking. The opportunity to attend a charter school was not an option or well promoted especially to low-income families. If the opportunity was there, I think I would have excelled in college and made better decision in my education.

    This is 9th year working at AIMS, first as a teacher and now as an EL Coordinator. I support the renewal of AIMS College Prep MS because there are dedicated teachers and staffs who wants to make a difference. Who wants to change the education course of students who attend AIMS. Oakland students deserve a high quality education no matter where they are from or their socio-economic status is. AIMS has provided that for many families.

    I support the renewal of AIMS College Prep MS because this school (K-12) truly strives to teach students to embrace specific characteristics (Accountability, Integrity, Mindfulness, Safety) to be a well rounded scholar. and also provides academic rigor needed, in preparation for higher education for Oakland/East bay youth. The students deserve that.

    Hello, I support the charter renewal of AIMS! This is my 4th year at AIMS and it has been an amazing journey! From the amazing students that works so hard, to the amazing teachers and staff who care about the students and each other. They have a big emphasis on AIMS being a family, and those words are very true. Every time I think of AIMS, I think of it as a big family with lots of love and support. I urge you to renew the charter and keep us a family.

    I support the renewal of AIMS College Prep MS! I began working as a teacher there six years ago, after 7 years in other public and charter schools. There is something to the MS culture of high expectations and support that does help students excel. I believe teachers and staff really focus on helping all students move in their trajectory towards success in high school (and career and college) in our middle school. Over the years teachers have continuously striven for their best teaching in each class. I do support AIMS renewal for another 7 years and ask you to as well!

    My son has been with AIMS for two years and it’s unbelievable how much he has learned and how quickly he has picked up concepts. I believe that AIMS works hard to help our kids exceed state standards and this level of commitment is much needed! Please allow our kids to continue on this path to shape and mold the next generation of innovators and leaders!

    AIMS is a school that puts the children first. I have worked here for over 9 years and I call this place my home. AIMS has provided our families for many years with a very high-level academic program that is second to none. We have created a tried-and-true formula to help the students at our school succeed in all aspects of life. We have seen tremendous growth year after year. We have helped hundreds upon hundreds of students reach their college dream. With renewal, we look forward to seeing thousands more graduate and attend a college/university. Many of our students attend from Kindergarten through 12th grade and, after graduating from a four year university, become upstanding citizens in the world that we all navigate.

    This mu 5th year working in this amazing school. This is the best job I have had. I came out of retirement to work here. I love school and I love my job! The administration. staff and parents work together as a team to be the best for our AIMS students. We work together as a unit with one purpose in mind, that is to prepare our students for the world once they leave us. Our curriculum and lessons are all CA State aligned to assure our families their children are taught and learn what they need to qualify for college and beyond!

    AIMS is a great school! I am the Parent Coordinator at AIMS and also I am the mother of five children that attend AIMS.

    We are an African-American and Latino family. At AIMS our children thrive and they have an opportunity to go to school in a diverse setting with diverse staff. They are presented with excellent opportunities and a fantastic education. They receive so many benefits by going to AIMS. My great-grandparents could not read or write and my grandmother had a fourth-grade education due the lack of schools in their village where they were raised. At AIMS my children have the opportunities that my grandparents dreamed of!

    I know so many families at AIMS that share a similar sentiment! We love AIMS for our children!

    My family came to the US mainland for an opportunity for us to obtain the education that they were not able to get. At AIMS our children have this opportunity to have a great education that my grandparents dreamed of.

    All too often we are put in a situation where there is not an avenue to escape a deplorable condition. That is not the situation at AIMS. Students are afforded the opportunity to excel and experience new horizons in education. Such opportunity prepares many students to engage novel and, heretofore, restricted adventures. Just reflecting on the accomplishment of the students only substantiates the aforementioned statement. Being rank as one of the highest performing middle schools, offering all students, including Black and Brown students and students with special needs, the opportunity for a rigorous, 21st century education, and expanding the offering of extra-curricular activities is the hallmark of an exceptional educational institution. That is what Oakland is given through AIMS middle school. Therefore, we have to renew the charter for the middle school so that it will continue to shine for Oakland education.
