Aspire Lionel Wilson College Preparatory Academy

Public, Charter Grades 6-12

Summary

Aspire Lionel Wilson College Preparatory Academy is a grades 6–12 school in Oakland, serving 392 students in a group of nearby schools with varied grade spans and sizes. Its 2024–2025 results show a clear difference by subject: English language arts (ELA) is a relative bright spot, while mathematics is the biggest concern compared with California overall. Math proficiency was 12% at Aspire, versus 37% statewide, a gap of 25 percentage points—the school’s largest shortfall across its three tested subjects.

ELA is Aspire’s strongest subject in the local comparison, though its overall result remains below the state rate: 40% proficient, versus 49% statewide. It ranked third among 10 nearby schools with same-year ELA scores, and its 11th-grade ELA result was a standout: 64%, compared with 57% statewide. Math was closer to the local middle: Aspire ranked fourth among nearby schools with scores, while science ranked fourth of eight. For math, Aspire was behind East Bay Innovation Academy, Lighthouse Community Charter High, and San Leandro High. District-level test results were not supplied for the Aspire Lionel Wilson College Preparatory Academy District, so a district comparison is not available.

Results have improved in math over three years, from 8% proficiency in 2022–2023 to 12% in 2024–2025, while the gap with the state narrowed by 1 point. ELA rose from 34% to 40% over that period, despite a small dip in the latest year; science fell from 22% to 18%. SchoolDigger gives Aspire 3 stars and places it at the 51st percentile statewide in 2024–2025, second among 11 ranked nearby schools; its percentile has fallen from a high of 64 in 2022–2023. The 2024–2025 student-teacher ratio was 26:1, the highest in the nearby group, and 87% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that year. SchoolDigger’s historical rankings for English Language Learner students shifted notably: the group ranked at the 92nd percentile in 2018–2019, compared with 54th overall, then at the 53rd percentile in 2021–2022 and 76th in 2022–2023; the latest subgroup result supplied is from 2022–2023.
