Lazear Charter Academy District

Lazear Charter Academy District is an active, independent charter school district based at 824 29th Avenue in Oakland, California. Situated within the San Francisco-Oakland-Fremont metropolitan region, the district operates a single school campus tailored to a vibrant, large-city environment. Designed to support learners throughout their foundational educational journey, Lazear serves approximately 490 students across kindergarten through eighth grade. Functioning as its own local educational agency for federal programs, the district offers a focused elementary and middle school pipeline committed to community-centered public education, accessible online at efcps.org or by phone at (510) 689-2018.

The district’s student body reflects a rich cultural demographic, serving 427 Hispanic students, 30 Black students, 15 Asian students, 10 White students, and four American Indian students, as well as students identifying with two or more races. To support this diverse population, Lazear maintains a strong professional workforce of just over 100 full-time equivalent (FTE) staff members. This team includes more than 42 FTE classroom teachers, nearly eight FTE instructional aides, and over 50 FTE support staff members. This comprehensive staffing structure ensures that students benefit from low student-to-staff ratios, strong classroom support, and holistic wraps around services designed to foster academic and personal success.
