Summary:
Aspire Benjamin Holt Middle is the sole public charter middle school serving grades 6-8 in the Aspire Benjamin Holt Middle District located in Stockton, California. With 567 students, the school is performing relatively well academically, ranking in the top 36% of California middle schools for the 2023-2024 school year.
Aspire Benjamin Holt Middle excels in English Language Arts/Literacy, Mathematics, and Science, with test scores generally above the state average, particularly in 8th grade. However, the school's ranking has declined from 709 out of 2,740 California middle schools in 2021-2022 to 1,002 out of 2,777 in 2023-2024, suggesting it may be losing ground relative to other schools in the state. The school serves a high-need population, with over 57% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, and its chronic absenteeism rate of 19.6% is higher than the state would likely prefer.
Overall, Aspire Benjamin Holt Middle appears to be a strong-performing school within its district and the state of California, with particularly impressive results in 8th grade. However, the school's declining ranking and higher-than-average chronic absenteeism rate suggest there may be room for improvement. Continued monitoring and targeted interventions could help the school maintain its academic excellence and better support its high-need student population.
