Summary

Aspire Monarch Academy is a public elementary school (grades K-5) serving 374 students in Oakland, California, operating within the Aspire Monarch Academy District and performing below state averages in core academic subjects.

The school's academic results, while below the state average, place it in a middle position compared to many nearby schools in the Oakland Unified district, such as Fred T. Korematsu Discovery Academy Elementary and Esperanza Elementary, which it outperforms. However, it trails higher-performing options like Francophone Charter School of Oakland. A notable strength is a significant jump in English Language Arts proficiency in fifth grade, and the school manages student attendance better than some neighboring schools, though chronic absenteeism remains a challenge.

Recent years have seen substantial investment, with per-student spending doubling and class sizes getting smaller, though the school's statewide ranking has declined. The school shows particular effectiveness with its Special Education students. When considering schools, parents may note that outcomes vary widely across the area even with similar student backgrounds, suggesting that individual school practices and resources, which Aspire Monarch has recently increased, can make a meaningful difference.
