Summary:
The Aspire APEX Academy District consists of a single elementary school, Aspire APEX Academy, serving grades K-5 with 376 students in Stockton, California.
This school faces significant academic challenges, consistently ranking in the bottom 2-6% of all California elementary schools over the past three years. Student proficiency rates are far below state averages across every subject and grade level; for example, only about 15% of students are proficient in English Language Arts compared to nearly 49% statewide, and the math proficiency rate is 9% versus 37% for the state. Performance is low across all tested grades, with a slight peak in 4th grade results.
Key factors influencing the school environment include a chronic absenteeism rate of 37.9%, which is nearly double the state average, and a student population where approximately 78% qualify for free or reduced-price lunch. Despite a per-student spending of over $23,000, academic outcomes have not improved relative to other schools. For parents, this indicates a school community grappling with substantial obstacles where student attendance and academic support are critical areas of focus.
