Common questions

How do I get in?

Ask Aspen Ridge Public how it admits students. Charter schools set their own enrollment steps and dates. Evidence ↓

How many students reached the top test level here?

In grade 11, spring 2026, 21% scored Advanced in English (reading and writing), and none did in math. 52% scored below the standard in English and 86% in math. Evidence ↓

How often do students miss school or get suspended?

31 in 100 students were chronically absent in 2025–26 (95 of 307), meaning they missed 10% or more of school days. 10.4% of students (33 of 318) were suspended at least once in 2025–26. Evidence ↓

Academic achievement

How did students here do on state tests?

48% of the 29 students tested scored Proficient or Advanced in English; 14% did in math.

State tests (CAASPP), grade 11, spring 2026

In grade 11, spring 2026, 48% of the 29 students tested scored Proficient or Advanced in English, against 57% across California. In math, 14% did, against 32% across California. Fewer than 30 students tested, so one year can swing a lot; ask how results looked in other years.

California is CDE’s statewide math row for each grade, counting every student tested there; the comparisons in the chapters combine these rows for their grades, weighted by students tested (our calculation).

A grade the school doesn't teach has no row. “Suppressed” marks a result CDE blanks because fewer than 11 students tested (CDE’s reporting rule); “none tested” marks a grade CDE lists with no students tested; “not on file” marks a result missing from the records we hold. None of them means zero.

Life at school

Where do students go after finishing high school here?

State graduation, readiness, college-going, attendance and suspension records

Do students finish prepared, and where do they go?

The state has listed Aspen Ridge Public under its current school code only since August 2021. Graduation, college-going and UC admission results are reported by school code, so they start with this school’s first graduating class under it.

Ask the school

How did recent graduates do, and where did they enroll after high school?

What could my child study here?

What other courses and pathways are on record?

College courses in high school (dual enrollment)
12 students took one

Ask: When a child starts missing school, who calls the family, and how soon?

How often do students miss school or get suspended?

31 in 100 students were chronically absent in 2025–26. That means they missed 10% or more of school days. 10.4% of students were suspended at least once in 2025–26.

CDE reports scale-score points against the state’s expected score — not a percentage or percentile. The table keeps the group records SchoolScope imported for this school, including rows below our narrative display threshold. Muted rows have fewer than 30 students with a valid growth score. SchoolScope uses that threshold for the shorter narrative view; the reported values stay visible here. “Not categorized” means this imported CDE row has a growth value without a performance category. Long-term English learner counts cover grades 6–8 only (CDE’s rule), so that row is not comparable to the All students row. At least one estimate here is a CDE weighted estimate; that describes how CDE combines years, not a year-over-year trend. A group absent from this table has no imported record shown here. Its absence alone does not establish its size or performance. CDE growth covers grades 4–8; here that is grades 7 and 8. SchoolScope does not use these CDE figures in its Scope Score.

Source notes. CDE reports scale-score points against the state’s expected score for matched students, never a percentage. Among SchoolScope's retained California high school records, the median English estimate is +1 and the middle half fall between −9 and +7 scale-score points — the spread is wide, so read the figure against it, not its sign alone. CDE's 2025 Dashboard weighted school estimate uses assessments from 2022–23, 2023–24, and 2024–25; adjacent reporting editions should not be read as independent annual changes. The CDE measure covers grades 4–8; here that is grades 7 and 8, and it is not part of the Scope Score.

AP pathway among CCI Prepared studentsCDE College/Career Indicator · CCI source year 2025 · all students · AP pathway rate unavailable · AP-pathway numerator unavailable · denominator unavailable (CCI Prepared students). This measure uses Prepared students as its denominator, not the whole CCI cohort; it is not an AP exam-taking rate or a count of AP courses offered. That cohort includes all students in the current four-year graduation cohort plus only Prepared fifth-year graduates from the prior cohort. In 2025 the pathway accepts two qualifying AP exams, two qualifying AP courses, or a combination of one of each in different subjects.

SchoolScope withholds the high-school score and rank because a verified CDE overall Prepared rate is unavailable. A blank or missing rate is not 0%. The California figure is CDE's statewide CCI student cohort, not an average of SchoolScope's comparable high schools or the SchoolScope school-rank pool.

How the California mean was selected

SchoolScope starts with its selected California finance records, not every NCES California district. For FY 2020–21, it calculates an unweighted mean of NCES F-33 current expense per pupil. District records contribute once, regardless of enrollment. The calculation keeps records with positive per-pupil current expense, enrollment over 100, CCD agency type 1, and a recorded district name; it excludes names ending in County Office of Education, Department of Education, or Superintendent of Schools. This is a SchoolScope calculation, not a state-published spending average.

These shares are our arithmetic: each group’s dollars divided by the $1,534,763,483 total of the groups shown, rounded to whole percents by largest remainder so they add up to 100. Dollar amounts are rounded to the nearest dollar, so they can differ from the total by a dollar. SchoolScope groups district-level CDE SACS UserGL actuals from Fund 01, using operating objects 1000–5999 and excluding retiree benefits, food and community services, facilities acquisition, other outgo, and nonagency goals. These shares use that filtered total; they do not exactly break down CDE's official current expense per ADA above. The school-level ESSA figure uses a separate source.
