Description
In 2009, Eagle Village established itself as an independent 501(c)(3), nonprofit organization in order to provide families of Westlake Middle School in Oakland, CA a one-stop access to a wide array of public and community services on campus. Eagle Village is receiving growing recognition as a model of success in the Oakland Unified School District for its early adoption of a Community School framework, which is gaining momentum across the nation as a key to removing barriers to academic success. Locally, the Oakland Unified School District is using the Community School framework as a blueprint for change and is striving to transform its schools with this model.
