Summary:
The Aspen Ridge Public District in Fresno, California, contains a single high school, Aspen Ridge Public, which serves students in grades 7 through 12 with a total enrollment of 246.
This school is a compelling story of recent improvement, having dramatically increased its statewide ranking from the 33rd to the 61st percentile in just one year. Notably, its 11th graders excel in English Language Arts, outperforming the state average by a significant margin, and 10th graders also perform well in science. However, the school still faces challenges, with overall test scores in English, math, and science remaining below California averages, and mathematics proficiency being a particular area of concern.
Key factors for parents to consider include the school's high economic need, with over 80% of students eligible for free or reduced lunch, and a chronic absenteeism rate that is much higher than the state average, which likely impacts learning. The district invests considerable resources per student and maintains a relatively low student-teacher ratio, suggesting a commitment to support that is beginning to show positive academic results in specific areas.
