Summary:
Aspire Vanguard College Preparatory Academy is the sole public charter high school serving grades 6-12 in the Aspire Vanguard College Preparatory Academy District. With a total enrollment of 596 students, the school has a strong focus on college preparation, as evidenced by its name and grade levels served.
While Aspire Vanguard College Preparatory Academy boasts a 100% four-year graduation rate and a 0% dropout rate, which are excellent, the school's academic performance, particularly in mathematics and science, is a significant concern. Proficiency rates on Smarter Balanced Assessments and CAST exams are generally below state averages across grade levels and subject areas, with the school's strongest performance in 11th grade English Language Arts still slightly below the state average.
The school's challenges may be exacerbated by its high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (72.65%) and a relatively high student-teacher ratio of 30.3. Additionally, the school's performance has declined over the past three years, as evidenced by its decreasing statewide ranking and star rating from SchoolDigger, suggesting the need for further investigation and intervention to address the underlying factors contributing to the academic struggles.
