Students at OIHS drop out at practically half the rate that newcomers students do at other Oakland high schools. The faculty’s success comes largely from the community school model, which co-locates essential companies on campus, making certain quick access for college students and households. The mannequin adheres to the precept of “Maslow before Bloom,” which means that college students will need to have their fundamental wants met earlier than they will totally interact in studying. “If someone has an abscessed tooth, they’re not going to be able to focus on math,” Markham stated. “And if someone has a pending deportation hearing and no immigration lawyer, they’re not going to be working on their group project.” OIHS has leveraged the neighborhood faculty mannequin to construct a complete assist system, offering food, medical, authorized, and psychological health companies, in order that newcomer college students cannot solely adapt however thrive of their new setting.
Food companies
With food prices spiking over the past year, many households battle to afford nutritious meals. Immigrant households, particularly if they’re undocumented, typically expertise food insecurity as a result of they’re excluded from federal programs. OIHS companions with a neighborhood food financial institution to supply food to college students and their households. Recently, the faculty elevated its food financial institution companies from bi-weekly to weekly, with one food financial institution solely for college students on campus and one other serving the area people, together with current graduates.
Madenh Ali Hassan, OIHS’s neighborhood faculty supervisor, emphasised the significance of offering culturally related food. The food financial institution ensures that the food offered displays the dietary wants and cultural preferences of the faculty’s numerous households. “It’s always sweet because everybody’s taking what they need, and nobody feels ashamed,” Hassan stated. “It feels good to feed people and to see them feel a sense of community here.”
Medical companies
Many newcomer college students arrive with unmet medical wants, significantly asylum seekers and refugees who fled nations in turmoil. “A lot of our students need immunizations, physicals, or have other health issues,” Hassan famous. OIHS tries to remove obstacles to college students and households getting medical care. For occasion, the faculty hosts yearly flu clinics and brings in cellular imaginative and prescient firms to evaluate and match college students for eyeglasses.
Language obstacles typically stop households from accessing social companies, so OIHS employees join households with medical companies, typically serving to them translate and fill out obligatory paperwork. Karen Moya, an OIHS graduate, recalled how her mother and father struggled to navigate new techniques after immigrating from Guatemala. “They didn’t have the support because they didn’t know where to ask,” she stated.
Moya now works as a case supervisor at OIHS, serving to college students navigate related challenges. “If they need a dental or vision appointment and don’t have insurance, or if they receive a letter in the mail they don’t understand, they bring it to us, and we help.”
To somebody who has lived in the U.S. for many of their life, accessing medical care could seem easy, Moya stated. But that’s not true for everybody. “We keep in mind that these are new families coming to the country. And so we try to explain and provide every little thing that can be beneficial to them.”
Legal companies
Newcomer college students might face advanced authorized proceedings resulting from their immigrant standing. The district’s newcomer workplace conducts a proper consumption when college students first arrive, assessing whether or not they or their households have been detained, are unaccompanied, or are undocumented. OIHS then connects college students and households with the acceptable authorized companies. The majority of scholars should not have legal professionals, which means there isn’t any one to clarify a authorized doc they may get in the mail. Bilingual case managers work with households to translate paperwork and work out subsequent steps whether or not it’s making households conscious of a future courtroom date or connecting them with a lawyer.
Mental health companies
Newcomer college students might have left their residence nations beneath traumatic circumstances. “There’s a lot of grief around leaving your country, let alone the grief caused by war, violence or other events that displace people,” Hassan stated.
At OIHS, college students with extreme mental health needs are linked with specialists. “By the end of the year, we’ll have 90 kids connected to mental health services, but that’s never enough,” Hassan stated, noting the want for extra bilingual clinicians of colour.
The faculty additionally tries to handle psychological health wants by different on-campus companies. They have a wellness heart the place college students can loosen up with a cup of tea and join with case managers. They additionally associate with a company known as Soccer Without Borders, the place soccer coaches double as case managers to supply extra assist to college students.
While the arrival of newcomer college students can pose challenges for some districts, it additionally presents a novel alternative to enhance academic outcomes by community-based sources. Denver Public Schools has established specialised neighborhood hubs for over 3,500 newcomer college students and their households. Similarly, Chicago Public Schools is piloting a welcome heart to supply important companies to newly arrived college students. Hassan is inspired by these efforts. “We need people dedicated to doing that work outside of the classroom to better support the work happening in the classroom,” he stated.

Angela LeBlanc-Ernest: You needed to start envisioning what society wanted to appear like in your little one in the event that they survived. Right? There is a way so lots of them didn’t assume they might survive
Nimah Gobir: Party members started to conceive of a community-based different to the poor academic experiences that they had as kids. They have been typically disciplined more durable and discouraged from asking questions. Their faculties lacked provides and books, and the curriculum hardly ever included tales of people that appeared like them.
Nimah Gobir: So in response to this they opened the Intercommunal Youth Institute in east Oakland in 1971
Angela LeBlanc-Ernest: It was an outdated church that they transformed into a college and so it was a small area. They determined that they needed to start with the quantity that they had, which was 50 college students.
Nimah Gobir: Gradually, different folks observed that the college students and households have been being handled nicely at this scrappy little residence faculty the place they used mindfulness practices and restorative justice. Students have been engaged, revered, and studying in an setting that valued their heritage and experiences.
Angela LeBlanc-Ernest: When the neighborhood approached the Black Panther Party, when it was simply the insular residence faculty to say, “Hey, can you make this available to the community, to children in the community?” That was a immediate for them to assume extra broadly.
Nimah Gobir: As new folks joined from exterior of the celebration, they started outgrowing the area and they also needed to search for one thing extra everlasting. They modified the title to Oakland Community School and Black Panther Party member Ericka Huggins grew to become the director.
Ericka Huggins: We opened the Oakland Community School in the faculty 12 months of 1973-74.
Nimah Gobir: Students have been ages 5 -12, so it was mainly an elementary faculty, however there have been no grades. They have been grouped in keeping with their tutorial skills. They additionally had childcare for teenagers who have been youthful than 5.
Nimah Gobir: Many of the college students got here from the Oakland space however some have been coming from the higher bay space too.
Ericka Huggins: We had greater than celebration members on employees. Not solely did the folks take their kids out of public faculty, the public faculty academics left, too, to work at… because it was, nicknamed the Panther School.
Nimah Gobir: This faculty is particular for lots of causes, however certainly one of the large causes is that it was certainly one of the earliest variations of neighborhood faculties in the nation.
Ericka Huggins: The faculty was neighborhood primarily based, little one centered, tuition free, father or mother pleasant and we paid particular attention to kids whose households had hassle with clothes and food.
Nimah Gobir: Nowadays once we discuss neighborhood faculties, we’re speaking about faculties like this one, that present for the complete little one past lecturers. Often these faculties have the issues that households want positioned at or offered by the faculty. Oakland Community School offered groceries to households in the neighborhood and food all through the faculty day.
Ericka Huggins: Three meals a day and I stated it was tuition free. The meals have been additionally for the college students and employees of the faculty.
Nimah Gobir: If mother and father couldn’t afford the metropolis bus. A bus from Oakland Community School would come choose their youngsters up. They used curriculum that truly mirrored the college students that have been going to the faculty
Ericka Huggins: Our motto was “the world is a child’s classroom.” Which is slightly totally different than the United States is the heart of the universe.
Ericka Huggins: We talked about the enslavement of Africans. We talked about the indigenous folks.

We needed them to find out about historical past. We needed them to find out about themselves as folks coming from nice ancestry regardless of their race or ethnicity. We didn’t ever flip away a pupil as a result of they weren’t Black.
Nimah Gobir: Students at the so-called Panther faculty have been Black –however they have been additionally Latino they have been white college students they have been Asian college students and biracial college students
Ericka Huggins: When folks see this, they’re shocked, like, oh, why are you shocked? We have been the Black Panther Party they usually have to consider what they’ve been informed.
Ericka Huggins: We have been simply courageous and dedicated as a result of it wasn’t straightforward. I need everyone to grasp that it didn’t simply seem itself as one neighborhood faculty with all angels floating round making issues occur. No, it was onerous work and. But the reward was in the faces of these mother and father and grandparents and aunties and uncles. The faces of the employees. And most significantly, the lives of the kids.
Nimah Gobir: After about ten years of operation, The faculty closed in 1982 — This was round the time when The Black Panther Party formally dissolved after years of presidency surveillance and assaults. The free breakfast program is believed to have paved the means for increasing the authorities’s School Breakfast Program, which nonetheless exists immediately. And the Black Panther legacy continues to be in Oakland. For one factor, many members of the Black Panthers are alive immediately and bodily websites throughout the metropolis bear the Panthers’ title.
Nimah Gobir: Now, if we quick ahead 40 years, what are Oakland Schools doing with that legacy? We’ll get into that after the break.
Nimah Gobir: Let’s leap forward to present day Oakland. Angelica was enrolling in 10th grade at Oakland International High School.
Nimah Gobir: She was 18 years outdated and so nervous. Originally from Guatemala, she didn’t communicate a phrase of English.
Angélica: Mi hermana me inscribió en esta escuela porque ella estuvo en esta escuela y se graduó aquí y pues me sentí nerviosa porque pues no sabía nada del inglés, nada, no entendía nada, nada.
Nimah Gobir: But her sister, who she was staying with at the time, was adamant about her going to highschool.
Angélica: Tienes que estudiar. Tienes que aprender. Es te necesito que tú llegas a otro nivel más que yo.
Nimah Gobir: Shortly after enrolling, circumstances for his or her household modified. All of the sudden, Angélica’s sister was offering for her youngsters,2 nephews, and Angelica. It was an excessive amount of.
Angélica: Mi hermana ya no podía con muchos gastos porque ella tiene hijos también y ella tuvo que tuvo que mantenerme a mí y a mis dos sobrinos. Pero luego ella me dijo tú ya estás grande y pues ya no sé qué voy a hacer contigo y así lo siento mucho. Y pues ella se mudó y yo me quedé sola
Nimah Gobir: Her sister moved away and Angélica needed to assist herself, which meant she had to select that so many college students make: ought to she hold going to highschool or ought to she go away faculty to work?
Angélica: Tuve que salir de la escuela, tuve que irme y no tenía otra opción más que como mantenerme a mi misma.
Nimah Gobir: She determined to work. She didn’t really feel like she had a lot of a alternative. According to a report by the Urban Institute, practically a 3rd of scholars ages 16-19 are working and never in class.
Nimah Gobir: I need to take a second to zoom out on Angelica and discuss the faculty district she’s in. Oakland Unified School District. It’s credited with being the first full service neighborhood faculty district in the nation. That means in all of their public faculties they don’t simply going to concentrate on lecturers, they supply different companies college students and households may want like food and social companies. Is this beginning to sound acquainted?
Nimah Gobir: The superintendent Tony Smith who rolled out the plan for the neighborhood faculty district stated that it has echoes of the Panthers and their deep care for teenagers. There are nice examples of how Oakland Schools are drawing on the Panther legacy. And certainly one of them is Oakland International School. The faculty that Angelica goes to.
Lauren Markham: Oakland International High School is a public faculty in the Oakland Unified School District that serves all newly arrived immigrant college students, all of whom are English language learners.
Nimah Gobir: Here is Lauren Markham, certainly one of Oakland International’s founding members.
Lauren Markham: Not all, however loads of our college students are coming from circumstances of poverty. We have the highest poverty price of any Oakland high faculty.
Nimah Gobir: When I walked by the faculty I may hear a bunch of various languages . Spanish and Arabic are the ones you’ll hear most. It jogged my memory of the means Ericka Huggins from the Black Panther Party talked about the variety of scholars and educators at the Oakland neighborhood faculty
Lauren Markham: We have college students from about 20 totally different nations. I typically describe our faculty as a delayed mirror of world occasions.
Nimah Gobir: What she means by that is that if one thing occurs in a rustic distant. For instance, if there’s political turmoil in Central America and it results in loads of refugees or asylum seekers, Oakland worldwide could have an inflow of those college students a 12 months or so later.
Nimah Gobir: More refugees arrived in the United States in the first eight months of 2023 than any 12 months since 2017. Many faculties throughout the nation try to determine methods to accommodate an inflow of migrant college students.
Lauren Markham: Newcomer college students fail at wildly disproportionate charges all through the nation. And we all know that when anyone inhabitants is failing, it’s a perform of the system and never the college students.
Nimah Gobir: The neighborhood faculty mannequin is what permits Oakland International to assist their numerous pupil inhabitants.
Lauren Markham: School Is not only a place the place like studying and training and lecturers occur, however that each one of those companies which can be round the classroom, that that hook up with and assist college students lives, be it psychological health companies or health care or immigration authorized companies, that are all issues that I feel we do significantly nicely and which can be significantly important at Oakland International.
Lauren Markham: I at all times use this instance, however like if somebody has an abscess tooth, they’re not going to have the ability to concentrate on math. Right? And if anyone has a pending deportation listening to developing they usually don’t have an immigration lawyer, like, yeah, they’re not engaged on their group mission.
Nimah Gobir: Working with newcomers makes the neighborhood faculty mannequin actually obligatory
Lauren Markham: Because so many college students are coming with restricted not all, however a variety of our college students are coming, not essentially coming into like established communities or having like established social networks and subsequently like don’t essentially know the place to go to get X, Y, Z factor, or the language that they communicate isn’t represented at the social companies workplace the place they might apply for Medi-Cal or Cal Fresh.
Madenh Ali Hassan: Everybody’s taking what they want and no one feels ashamed. I feel typically there’s a stigma. Like, it’s free food, I don’t have to take that. But food shortage is actual.
Nimah Gobir: That’s Madenh Ali Hassan Oakland International’s Community School Manager, which implies she oversees all the companies the faculty affords along with lecturers. When I asked her what the faculty does very well. She stated giving college students and households food is their jam.
Madenh Ali Hassan: It’s slightly little bit of inventive chaos however when you come out and see it it’s at all times simply form of candy as a result of everybody’s simply taking what they want.
Nimah Gobir: In order to offset skyrocketing food costs, the faculty affords two separate food banks as soon as per week.
Nimah Gobir: Just like how The Panthers noticed a necessity of their neighborhood and offered free meals to kids and households. Today we see Madenh and Oakland International doing one thing related.
Madenh Ali Hassan: We usually arrange proper in entrance of the faculty. And so that is open for the public. So when the neighborhood sees it, there’s a line round the block.
Nimah Gobir: They additionally need to be sure they’re serving their present college students, so that they have one other food financial institution arrange in the cafeteria. That one is only for their college students.
Madenh Ali Hassan: Everybody’s taking what they want and filling their luggage and college students are doing the similar in the cafeteria.
Nimah Gobir: Students who’ve dropped out of Oakland International additionally come to the weekly Food Bank. It’s comparatively frequent for a newcomer to show 18 and go away faculty to work. Oftentimes, working is critical to pay again the individuals who helped them migrate to the US or to assist out their households.
Lauren Markham: We perceive, like that is the actuality of your life and it’s a must to are likely to that.
Nimah Gobir: This is Lauren once more, speaking about college students who drop out.
Lauren Markham: I additionally assume that it’s reflective of our faculty, type of not. Like understanding that what’s occurring now just isn’t a pupil’s destiny eternally.
Nimah Gobir: If a pupil wants assist translating a doc a couple of courtroom listening to or filling out a paperwork. They know they’ll nonetheless be supported at Oakland International. Angélica felt that means too. When Angelica dropped out of college she acquired a job making sandwiches.
Nimah Gobir: Even although her circumstances made it in order that she to work closing shifts. She knew she didn’t need to work in the similar sandwich store eternally. So she had a dialog together with her boss who let her work closing shifts so she may attend faculty once more throughout the day.
Angélica: Entonces. Y mis maestros también se alegraron mucho porque yo había. Yo había ido cuatro meses y ellos me ayudaron también. Con todo. Todo. Animarme.
Nimah Gobir: When she returned to highschool she was welcomed with open arms.
Nimah Gobir: I discovered it actually fascinating the means that employees and academics at the faculty maintain on to those two distinct realities. One being that college students do higher after they’re in class and the different is that a few of them can’t make the choice to be there.
Nimah Gobir: When I went to Oakland International’s open home — it’s an occasion the place they open up the campus to educators who’re keen on seeing how they run issues — I heard Lauren say one thing at the Open House meeting that I believed was profound.
Lauren Markham at the Open House meeting: A whole lot of what we do right here is like, okay, we see the excellent model. We can whine for slightly bit about not having that, however how will we get how will we approximate? That’s what we do as educators. How will we get nearer to that given the sources that now we have? And that’s the type of scrappiness that’s constructed into training.
Nimah Gobir: As somebody who stories on training and talks to loads of academics and labored in training, this felt true and this jogs my memory of the panthers too in a way. Because faculties are primarily a bunch of individuals which can be dedicated to striving for a very onerous to get superb.
Nimah Gobir: Many of the college students who went to Oakland International come again to work there as adults as a result of they see the means the neighborhood faculty mannequin helps them assist college students higher.
Nimah Gobir: Yasser Alwan got here to Oakland worldwide as a pupil in 2010
Yasser Alwan: We immigrated from Yemen, proper earlier than the battle, the revolution, often called the Arab Spring.
Nimah Gobir: Now he’s a Newcomer assistant. It’s a place that started at Oakland International, the place they’ll have particular people who find themselves in lecture rooms like paraprofessionals to assist college students who’re struggling. When I asked him why he got here again and why he stays he stated yeah typically there are actually onerous days.
Yasser Alwan: But I, I bear in mind largely the good ones. And for the most half it was largely good days. And it’s identical to that neighborhood could be very robust and also you’re like, very welcome in and like. I’m like, happier after I’m not round. And I feel that’s what brings me again. Even by difficult instances, I bear in mind the good days. And I’m like, there’s going to be extra good days.
Nimah Gobir: Karen Moya got here to Oakland International as a pupil in 2010 additionally.
Karen Moya: We got here from El Salvador.
Nimah Gobir: As an grownup she joined the employees as a case supervisor
Karen Moya: I’m mainly supporting college students and their households to navigate the new techniques in the nation.
Nimah Gobir: When she is overwhelmed, She returns to one thing a colleague informed her.
Karen Moya: Something that certainly one of my colleagues stated it’s like you are able to do something and … You may really feel that you simply’re not doing something since you’re not seeing the outcomes, however you’re really doing one thing. You are impacting their lives, , and serving to them navigate the, the, the techniques and the struggles of being, , an immigrant on this nation. So I take that with me. And, and I give it some thought typically too, after I’m like, I’m serving to this pupil and I don’t see the outcomes that I need to see on my means, however I’m doing every thing that I can in my palms to higher assist them and their households.
Nimah Gobir: Prior to this episode we did two different tales about neighborhood faculties.
Carlos Cabrera-Lomelí: I’m Carlos Cabrera-Lomelí and I’m the neighborhood engagement reporter at KQED.
Nimah Gobir: So Carlos is somebody who has been with me all through my neighborhood faculty reporting at KQED. He was with me throughout interviews translating Spanish. We’re coming to the finish of our neighborhood faculty reporting this season and I needed to replicate what it was like to actually sit in these tales
Carlos Cabrera-Lomelí: Angelica was slightly slightly shy at first, slightly nervous, which I, , utterly regular response. The factor that caught with me for simply the complete day was simply her, her, identical to the like that she for her this complete, , like her leaving faculty and coming again. This choice. She actually made it for herself. She understands the worth of training. The issues she was repeating repeatedly was like, I wanna be taught English. When I first got here to the U.S., , the first place that we got here to was Oakland and I feel that, if you’re in a college that sees loads of youngsters come and go, you form of really feel such as you’re, , you’re form of like in the combat by your self.
Nimah Gobir: I used to be speaking to the neighborhood faculty coordinator after which additionally, certainly one of the founders, they usually have been saying, like, it’s such a bizarre factor to do at a college the place you want, see youngsters leaving, however you perceive that, like, their realities are issues that they should cope with. And so it’s a must to form of allow them to go. But your job is simply to be like if you’re prepared to come back again, like, come again right here and such as you’ll be okay. And it looks as if they do a very good job of that versus like a college that will both be like, don’t go away after which like as quickly as the pupil leaves, it’s form of like, yeah, if I see you, i see you.
Carlos Cabrera-Lomelí: Totally, yeah. And that’s why, I actually cherished having the ability to accompany you on these journeys as a result of it simply reveals some ways you may interpret the neighborhood mannequin. Where it may very well be a thousand elements that might, , change the consequence.That goes to the level we’re making that there isn’t any excellent quote unquote excellent neighborhood faculty. There’s no excellent strategy to set up or create a neighborhood faculty.
Nimah Gobir: Thank you for speaking to me Carlos.
Carlos Cabrera-Lomelí: Yeah, Thank you Nimah, this was superior.
Nimah Gobir: it’s actually at all times a pleasure to work with you.
Carlos Cabrera-Lomelí: Likewise.
Nimah Gobir: Whether a college relies in Oakland pursuing the legacy of the Panther School or elsewhere, educators can relate to the need for techniques that serve younger folks higher. In the meantime, they hold monitoring down quick-fixes, confirmed methods and people hard-to-find sustainable options.
