Summary:
The Aspire Pacific Academy District consists of a single school, Aspire Pacific Academy, a grades 6-12 high school serving 562 students in Huntington Park, California.
Aspire Pacific Academy shows a notable strength in supporting students through to graduation, with a rate of 96.1% that is well above the state average, and a very low dropout rate. This success in student persistence is coupled with better-than-average attendance. However, the school's academic proficiency scores are generally below state averages, particularly in math and science, though its 11th graders outperform the state in English Language Arts. The school serves a community with high economic need, with 98% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.
Key points for parents to consider include the school's exceptional success in graduating students and keeping them enrolled, which is a significant positive. The academic performance presents a mixed picture, with strong ELA growth by 11th grade but notable challenges in math and science proficiency. The school's resources show a contrast, with high per-student spending but also a very high student-to-teacher ratio. The overall state ranking of the school has declined over the past three years.
