Summary:
The Aspire Richmond Technology Academy District consists of a single charter elementary school, Aspire Richmond Technology Academy, serving grades K-5 with 586 students in Richmond, California.
This school serves a community with high economic need, with over 80% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. Despite spending significantly more per student than the state average, the school's academic performance is below state averages across all core subjects, including English, math, and science. Its statewide ranking has declined over the past three years, and it maintains a one-star rating. A notable challenge is a chronic absenteeism rate higher than the state average, which can significantly impact learning.
While performance gaps exist in all areas, the school's results in mathematics are somewhat closer to the state average than in English. The school's 4th graders showed the strongest relative performance in English compared to other grades. As the only school in its district, Aspire Richmond Technology Academy represents a focused case where substantial resources are being directed to address the needs of its student population, though academic outcomes continue to lag behind state benchmarks.
