Summary:
The ACE Inspire Academy District in San Jose contains one middle school, ACE Inspire Academy, which serves grades 5 through 8 with 205 students.
This school serves a community with high economic need and faces significant academic challenges, consistently ranking in the bottom 20% of California middle schools for the past two years. Student proficiency in English, math, and science is substantially below state averages, though performance varies by grade; for example, 6th-grade math scores are notably stronger than other grades, and English scores show improvement from 5th to 8th grade. Chronic absenteeism is higher than the state average, which can impact learning.
Despite per-student spending that exceeds many districts, the school's statewide ranking has declined in recent years. The student-teacher ratio is 25-to-1, which is higher than the state average, potentially affecting individualized support. For parents, the data indicates the school is working with a high-needs population and shows specific areas, like upper-grade English growth and 6th-grade math, that could be foundations for broader improvement.
