Summary:
The Aspire Vanguard College Preparatory Academy District in Modesto contains a single public charter school, Aspire Vanguard College Preparatory Academy, which serves grades 6 through 12 with an enrollment of over 600 students.
This school presents a notable contrast: it excels at keeping students on track to graduate, with a rate of 95.5% and no reported dropouts, significantly outperforming state averages. However, its overall standardized test scores in English, math, and science are below the California average, creating a complex performance picture. The school has maintained a consistent, mid-tier statewide ranking over the past three years.
Looking closer, there are bright spots in upper grades, with 11th graders outperforming in English and 12th graders excelling in science. Key challenges include lower proficiency in middle school grades and a chronic absenteeism rate higher than the state average. With a high percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, the school's ability to graduate nearly all of its students is a significant strength, even as it works to improve academic achievement across all grade levels.
