Alameda High School, established in 1874, is a public comprehensive high school dedicated to serving students in grades 9 through 12. The school embodies its core mission through the Hornet PRIDE values, emphasizing Preparedness, Respect, Inclusivity, Dedication, and Engagement. This nurturing environment is particularly beneficial for students with diverse learning needs, including those with language-based learning disabilities and twice-exceptional learners. Alameda High School employs a range of innovative programs and therapeutic methodologies designed to support each student's unique educational journey. The school prioritizes mental health and well-being, offering resources and counseling services that equip students with coping strategies and promote resilience. Additionally, the school fosters strong family partnerships, recognizing the importance of collaboration between educators and families in achieving student success. What sets Alameda High School apart is its commitment to maintaining a low student-teacher ratio, ensuring personalized attention and tailored instruction for every learner. The school's specialized facilities and community events further enhance the educational experience, creating a vibrant and inclusive atmosphere where all students can thrive.

Collaborative Classroom is dedicated to fostering proficient readers, writers, and independent learners from early childhood through grade 12. The school’s core mission centers on ensuring that all children, including those with language-based learning disabilities and other diverse needs, develop into fluent readers and critical thinkers while nurturing a culture of care and respect. The approach utilized includes evidence-based programs such as the SEEDS of Learning™ framework for preschoolers, which equips educators with essential tools to enhance oral language and emergent literacy skills in children aged 3 to 5. For students in grades K-5, comprehensive core literacy instruction combines high-quality texts with collaborative classroom community-building strategies, while supplemental small-group reading instruction for younger readers ensures tailored support that meets each student's unique needs. Additionally, the Accelerative Foundational Skills Instruction program (SIPPS®) provides targeted strategies for both new and striving readers to achieve fluency. What sets Collaborative Classroom apart is its commitment to low student-teacher ratios, fostering strong family partnerships, and creating a caring school community that emphasizes social skills development alongside academic growth. This holistic approach not only addresses the educational needs of students but also cultivates a supportive environment where families are actively engaged in their children’s learning journey.

Amelia Earhart Elementary sits on Bay Farm Island in Alameda, near Oakland International Airport, a reminder of the aviator our school is named for. We are a public transitional kindergarten through 5th grade school in the Alameda Unified School District, in a neighborhood of trails, lagoons, parks and ball fields along San Francisco Bay. Through our PBIS program, students learn the same schoolwide expectations in every setting, and staff recognize them with SOAR tickets. A Coordination of Services Team meets regularly to connect students with help in behavior, academics, attendance, health or social-emotional needs, with parents as active partners. Volunteering defines our school culture, with parents, extended family and neighbors supporting classrooms through our PTA.
