ALLIANCE ACADEMY

Alliance Academy is a Title I public middle school that is part of the Oakland Unified school district, located in Oakland, CA with about 358 students offering grade levels from 6th Grade to 8th Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education. With about 23 teachers, Alliance Academy has a student/teacher ratio of about 15:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

Alliance Academy, located at 1800 98th Ave in Oakland, California, is a public charter school serving students in the East Oakland community. Operating under the umbrella of the Alliance College-Ready Public Schools network, the institution is mission-driven to prepare students from historically underserved communities for success in college and beyond. The school emphasizes a rigorous academic curriculum, a culture of high expectations, and personalized support systems designed to close the achievement gap and equip students with the skills necessary to navigate higher education.

Beyond its academic focus, Alliance Academy fosters a supportive and structured school climate that prioritizes character development and community involvement. By leveraging small class sizes and a data-driven approach to instruction, the school aims to create an environment where students feel safe and academically challenged. The academy is deeply integrated into the local Oakland area, striving to provide families with a high-quality educational alternative that emphasizes both college readiness and long-term professional development for its student body.
