Summary

Aspire Port City Academy is a public charter elementary school (grades K-5) serving 446 students in Stockton, California, and it stands out for its strong recent academic improvement and effective support for English learners within a high-need community.

While the school's overall test scores are still catching up to state averages, it shows remarkable progress, with proficiency in English and math jumping significantly from last year and its science scores actually exceeding the state average. This improvement is even more notable when compared to other local schools like Cleveland Elementary and John C. Fremont Elementary that serve similar student populations. Furthermore, Aspire has a particular strength in supporting English Language Learners, historically ranking much higher for this group of students than for the school overall.

The school has also made impressive strides in getting students to class regularly, cutting its chronic absenteeism rate nearly in half over two years—a steeper decline than most nearby schools in the Stockton Unified district. With mid-range per-student spending, Aspire delivers solid academic results compared to peers, suggesting efficient use of resources. Its trajectory from a 1-star to a 2-star rating indicates positive momentum, making it a school on the rise within the Aspire Port City Academy District.
