School Description
Elmhurst Community Prep is a small middle school housed on the Elmhurst College campus in Oakland. Because Elmhurst Community Prep is a small school, it allows staff to build strong relationships with students and families. Families are seen as integral partners in the education of their children, helping students set and meet their goals. Like many schools in the Oakland Unified School District (OUSD), Elmhurst Community Prep is comprised of low-income students who vary widely in their level of academic achievement–with only one-third of students at grade-level for reading and math standards. It is one of eight schools in the OUSD that has received a Rogers Foundation grant to implement blended learning.

Program Model
Program model: Station Rotation
Model description
Students rotate on a fixed schedule between small-group instruction, online learning, group projects, and independent work. As teachers familiarize themselves with the technology, the school aims to transition its classrooms to the Flex model to allow teachers to pull small groups of students out of the larger group to provide individualized help.
