Summary

Aspire Pacific Academy is a public charter high school serving about 560 students in grades 6-12 in Huntington Park, California, operating within the Aspire Pacific Academy District.

The school shows significant strengths in keeping students engaged, with a very low chronic absenteeism rate of 14.2%—better than the state average and most nearby schools like Alliance Margaret M. Bloomfield Technology Academy High—and it graduates nearly all of its students. However, its academic performance in core subjects like English, math, and science is significantly lower than many surrounding schools, including its close neighbor, Aspire Ollin University Preparatory Academy. This is notable because the two schools serve similar communities but have different outcomes.

A key challenge is the very high student-to-teacher ratio of 37-to-1, which is much larger than other local schools and may impact classroom instruction. The school's yearly performance has been inconsistent, swinging between average and below-average state rankings. While it spends a comparable amount per student, the academic results suggest a need to focus resources more effectively, particularly on improving middle school preparation and learning from the successful practices of higher-performing schools in the area.
