American Indian Public Charter School II

Posted September 21, 2009

I am currently a 7th grader in aipcs2. This school is very strict and make no exceptions. This school doesn't have any lockers and I was thinking that it will be very embarassing to not know how to open a locker. It is because you didn't have 3 years of practice to learn it in middle school. It is strict but it helps me improve in all my subjects and finds interest in History . You get detention very easily but I don't really care because it is basically like study hall. I was surprised that I am the student of the month because I thought the smart students in my class gets it. When I was a 6th grader, I went to this school with no fear of getting detention and I was not scared to do anything bad BUT now I am for some reason.

I am currently a 7th grade student at this school. During the first couple of months in sixth grade, I was very upset about being sent to such a strict school. Then, I started learning. The teachers are great. We achieve and overachieve. I got a 600 on my STAR test; that's every question correct! I also got a 509 on my Language Arts. We are rewarded when we do well. I feel proud when my school gets into the paper for being strict. Yes, we do get sent to detention for little things like skipping ONE SINGLE problem on an assignment or going against the dress code.

This school is a step above the average for Oakland schools. Everything is above the average. The work load, the challenges, the hardship, and the rewards. The learning experience is great and the rewards is great for the students. But the price that students pay for the rewards is too great.

I will be forever grateful to Dr. Chavez for his leadership and vision for our children and community. The first time I met Dr. Chavez I stopped him on MacArthur Blvd in Oakland and I came away more impressed that his leadership and style of discipline would be invaluable for my African American son in developing the skills for higher education. The school curriculum is high school prep and the state testing results demonstrates it competes academically with all of the top schools in California and nationally. For most kids coming to the school there will be some adjustment requirements. The homework workload is at least double if not more the amount given in public schools. Mr. Glover is a really good principal and teachers Mr. Young and K are excellent. Excellent staff Jean at the front desk and top janitors a very clean campus.
