Summary:
The Aspire Arts & Sciences Academy District has one California elementary school, Aspire Arts & Sciences Academy, serving kindergarten through grade five and enrolling 388 students. In 2025–2026, its all-grades results were below California’s in ELA (26% versus 49%), math (23% versus 38%), and science (22% versus 36%); chronic absenteeism was also higher, at 33% compared with 18% statewide. The key takeaway is that academic results were below state figures in every reported subject, with the largest overall gap in ELA.
There are no school-to-school leaders or trailers to compare in this list; the sole school is both by default, not because it has been shown to outperform or underperform other local schools. Within its grade-level results, fourth-grade ELA was a relative bright spot: 33% compared with 46% statewide, a 12-point gap. Fifth-grade math was the clearest concern among the reported grade comparisons, at 13% versus 37% statewide, a 24-point gap. Across all grades, ELA had the widest state gap at 23 points, while science had the narrowest at 14 points. Because only one school is listed, the data cannot show how it compares with other schools in the district or with otherwise similar schools.
Results improved from the prior year in ELA and math: ELA rose 6 points, from 20% to 26%, and math rose 3 points, from 20% to 23%; both gains exceeded the state’s increases. Aspire Arts & Sciences Academy’s SchoolDigger ranking also moved from 5,406 of 5,857 schools (8th percentile, zero stars) in 2024–2025 to 4,792 of 5,804 (17th percentile, one star) in 2025–2026, though it remained below state test results in all three subjects. As context, 73% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–2025, and the student-teacher ratio was 25.8:1 that year; these figures describe the school but do not explain its results.
