Summary:
The Aspire Pacific Academy District in Huntington Park, California, contains a single high school, Aspire Pacific Academy, which serves grades 6 through 12 with 562 students.
Aspire Pacific Academy demonstrates a notable strength in supporting its students to graduation, with a 96.1% graduation rate that is well above the state average, alongside a very low dropout rate of 1.3%. This is a significant achievement considering nearly all students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch. The school also maintains a chronic absenteeism rate lower than the state average, indicating effective engagement and support systems that keep students attending class.
Academically, the school shows a clear area for growth, as student proficiency in mathematics (14.58%) and science (7.93%) falls below state averages, though 11th graders perform well in English Language Arts. The school's ranking has declined in recent years, and it operates with a high student-teacher ratio of 37 to 1, which may impact individualized instruction. For parents, this school excels at creating a supportive environment that leads to high school completion but faces challenges in elevating standardized test scores in core subjects.
