Aspire Pacific Academy

Summary:

Aspire Pacific Academy is a public charter high school located in Huntington Park, California, serving grades 6-12 with a total enrollment of 517 students. The school is part of the Aspire Pacific Academy District, which is ranked 1265 out of 1568 districts in California and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Aspire Pacific Academy has shown strong graduation rates, with a 100% four-year graduation rate in 2022-2023 and a 95.8% rate in 2021-2022, significantly higher than the nearby Performing Arts Community at Diego Rivera Learning Complex (80% in 2022-2023) and San Antonio Continuation (28.4% in 2022-2023). The school also has a very low dropout rate of 0% in 2022-2023, compared to higher rates at nearby schools. However, Aspire Pacific Academy has a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate of 25.2% in 2022-2023, which is higher than the nearby Alliance Margaret M. Bloomfield Technology Academy High (19.6%) and Linda Esperanza Marquez High A Hntngtn Park Inst of Appl Med (8.8%), but lower than Performing Arts Community at Diego Rivera Learning Complex (43%) and San Antonio Continuation (87.3%).

Aspire Pacific Academy's test scores are generally lower than the state averages across various subjects and grade levels. For example, in 2023-2024, the school's 11th-grade English Language Arts proficiency rate was 33.33% compared to the state's 55.73%, and its 11th-grade Mathematics proficiency rate was only 4.17% compared to the state's 27.9%. This pattern is consistent across other grade levels and subject areas. The school's performance is generally weaker than the nearby charter schools, such as Alliance Margaret M. Bloomfield Technology Academy High and Alliance Collins Family College-Ready High, which have higher rankings, graduation rates, and test scores. This may be due to the high percentage of low-income students (87.62% qualify for free or reduced-price lunch) that Aspire Pacific Academy serves, as well as varying subgroup performance within the school.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
