About AIMS College Prep K-8

AIMS College Prep K-8 now serves over 620 inner-city students from grades K–8. The focus of AIMS K-8 has been excellent student attendance (99.5%), which helps ensure the academic needs of our students. Our students have exceeded the standards set forth by the No Child Left Behind Act each year with Math and ELA assessment scores higher than both Oakland's and California's averages. They attained the CAPP Award for innovative practices during the pandemic. AIMS K-8 received the CA Distinguished School Award for excellent academics and for closing the achievement gap. Demographically, 60% of AIMS Elementary students qualify for free and reduced lunch, 99% are minorities, and 75% speak English as a second language.

The charts provide a snapshot of gender and ethnicity representation within our school community. They reflect self-reported data to better understand and support the diverse identities of our students and staff. By visualizing this information, we aim to foster greater inclusivity, inform equitable practices, and ensure that all individuals feel seen, respected, and valued at AIMS.
