Support A New Facility for Aspire ERES Academy in Oakland

The Issue

Aspire ERES TK-8 Academy, a public charter school serving 220 students in the Fruitvale neighborhood, has been located in a constrained and cramped facility with extensive maintenance issues for the past nine years. Our students have very limited play space and endure maintenance issues on a regular basis. Aspire has received a $30M grant from the state of CA to build a new facility, which is just 1.1 miles away.  Our new facility will include science labs, art studios, indoor/outdoor play areas, a middle school rooftop lounge and spacious classrooms for our students to learn and thrive!  Support this project and give a traditionally under-served community the world-class education facility they deserve! 

Support this project and enable Aspire ERES to enrich the surrounding area through our continued commitment to work collaboratively with OUSD, the surrounding neighborhood schools, community organizations and businesses.

Charter schools are public schools!  We are proud to serve 95% students who qualify for free/reduced lunch, 13% of students who receive Special Education services and 100% on a road to College for Certain.  ERES is proud to serve a racially diverse community that closely reflects the demographics of the neighborhood.  Support our amazing Aspire students, educators and families!
