Summary

Aspire Langston Hughes Academy is a public charter school serving about 770 students in grades 6-12 in Stockton, a community where school performance varies widely.

The school has a solid 89% graduation rate, which is above the state average, and shows particular strength in supporting its special education students, ranking in the top quarter of schools statewide for that group. However, academic test scores in English, math, and science are below state averages, and chronic student absenteeism, while lower than at many traditional Stockton Unified high schools like Edison High or Stagg Senior High, is higher than the state would like. Its performance places it in a middle tier among local schools, outperforming some comprehensive high schools but not reaching the exceptional levels of nearby specialized schools such as Middle College High or Stockton Early College Academy.

Notably, the school's statewide ranking has fluctuated in recent years, and it spends a mid-range amount per student compared to neighbors. The analysis suggests the school could benefit from building on its successful support for specific student groups while working to create more consistent academic improvement across all grade levels, especially in the middle school years.
