Summary

Aspire Antonio Maria Lugo Academy serves 407 students in kindergarten through grade six in Huntington Park, California. Its test results have improved, but in 2024–2025 the school remained below state proficiency rates in all three subjects: 46% in English language arts (ELA), 36% in math, and 31% in science, compared with 49%, 37%, and 33% statewide. The central takeaway is that the school has made broad progress, yet its latest all-grade results were still below the state in every tested subject.

Against nearby schools, Aspire was above the average in ELA and science, but below it in math: the school scored 46% in ELA versus a nearby average of 39%, 31% in science versus 21%, and 36% in math versus 38%. Results were close to those in Los Angeles Unified: Aspire was about 0.3 points lower in ELA and 0.5 points lower in math, but 3 points higher in science. Compared with the state, math was Aspire’s closest subject, 1 point below; it was 3 points below in ELA and 2 below in science. Nearby schools serve different grade spans, so these all-grade comparisons are useful context rather than exact like-for-like comparisons.

The upward trend is substantial: from 2022–2023 to 2024–2025, Aspire’s ELA proficiency rose 17 points, math rose 8 points, and science rose 20 points, while its SchoolDigger statewide ranking improved from the 30th to the 53rd percentile; the latest rating was 3 stars. Chronic absenteeism also fell, from 34% to 25% over those years, though the latest rate remained 5 points above the state’s. SchoolDigger’s subgroup rankings show a strong relative standing for Hispanic students (74th percentile) and students with low socioeconomic status (72nd), compared with 53rd overall. English language learner students’ ranking dropped sharply, from the 61st percentile in 2022–2023 to the 8th in 2023–2024. The 2024–2025 student–teacher ratio was 21.3, compared with a nearby average of 20.1, and 96% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that year, close to the nearby average of 95%.
