Lighthouse Community Charter School has committed to five priorities in its school design:

• high expectations,
• a rigorous curriculum,
• serving the whole child,
• family involvement,
• and teachers as learners.
  

Since its opening in 2002, Lighthouse has developed an innovative program based on these principles that has demonstrated results:

• The K-8 API has grown from 612 to 763, the 9-12 API has grown from 568 to 726
• The K-8 program received a 10 out of 10 in its similar school ranking from the State of California, the 9-12 program received an 8 out of 10
• The 9-12 program is in the top three public high schools in Oakland overall, regardless of income level or students served
• All students in the first graduating class were accepted to four-year colleges or universities - 92% are first in family to go to college
