Summary:
The Aspire Richmond Ca. College Preparatory Academy District consists of a single public charter school, Aspire Richmond Ca. College Preparatory Academy, serving 590 students in grades 6 through 12 in Richmond, California, with a high percentage of students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds.
This school presents a compelling picture of both significant strengths and notable challenges. On one hand, it excels in keeping students on track to graduate, boasting a 96.1% graduation rate and a very low 2.6% dropout rate, both figures that are better than the state average. This indicates a supportive environment that successfully guides students through to completion. The performance of 11th graders in English Language Arts is also a relative strength, coming close to the state average.
However, the school's overall academic proficiency on state tests in English, math, and science falls below state averages, with middle school math being a particular area of concern. Chronic absenteeism is also higher than the state average, which likely impacts learning. While the school's ranking has fluctuated, it spends more per student than many schools and faces the task of translating those resources and its success in graduation into stronger standardized test scores across all grade levels.
