The school was also given the Hart Vision Charter School of the Year Award for 2009 by the California Charter Schools Association. The Amethod Public Schools system grew out of Oakland Charter Academy, and now includes Oakland Charter High School and Downtown Charter Academy located in downtown Oakland.

It is now located on the corner of Foothill Blvd and 42nd Avenue.

International Boulevard (in Oakland), East 14th Street (in San Leandro), and Mission Boulevard (in Hayward, Union City, and Fremont) are a major road in Alameda County, California. The section now known as International Boulevard was also named East 14th Street until 1996, owing to its position in the East Oakland grid plan; though fully deprecated within the city of Oakland today, this name is still commonly used, especially in casual speech. (East 14th Street is the only correct name in the city of San Leandro to this day.) Mission Boulevard is so named as number 43300 is the location of Mission San José. South of 42nd Avenue and the end of California State Route 77 (CA-77, SR 77, or simply "Highway 77"), the street is signed as CA-185; after the junction with CA-92 (which carries the San Mateo Bridge) in Hayward, it is signed as part of CA-238; between I-680 and I-880, it is signed as the relatively obscure CA-262. The Oakland portion features median strip boarding platforms to accommodate the AC Transit Tempo bus rapid transit line. International Boulevard, East 14th Street, and Mission Boulevard are each among the longest continuously-named streets in the Bay Area individually. The numbers along the International Boulevard are notable in that they are continuous, growing with no large gaps from 102 International Boulevard (at 1st Avenue, one block from Lake Merritt), to 10970 International Boulevard (at the intersection with Durant Avenue on the Oakland/San Leandro border). It is claimed that the section in Oakland was named International Boulevard due to the diversity in ethnic backgrounds among residents and business owners along the route. Fruitvale, a neighborhood of Oakland with a large Hispanic population, is centered on International Boulevard's intersections with Fruitvale and 35th Avenues, and has seen considerable economic growth in recent years. Immediately northwest of Fruitvale are many businesses long owned locally by East and Southeast Asian residents. Much of the rest of International Boulevard bisects predominantly low-income African-American communities. Some portions of International Boulevard have gained a reputation as areas of prostitution, and are part of Oakland's continuing troubles with underage prostitution. An award-winning short film about underage prostitution, International Boulevard: A Documentary, covers the issue of Commercially Sexually Exploited Children (CSEC) in Oakland, and on a national level.
