Aspire Ollin University Preparatory Academy scores 35 of 100 on SchoolScope's Scope Score — the 42nd percentile of 2,238 California middle schools (CDE CAASPP 2025).
Measures test performance, attendance, and climate — not arts, community, or your kid. How we score →
Most rating sites would stop at “28% proficient” and call it done. Aspire Ollin University Preparatory Academy deserves a closer read. The school sits in Huntington Park, where nearly all students qualify for free or reduced lunch — and reading the numbers without that context misreads the school.
As a charter, Aspire Ollin University Preparatory Academy enrolls by application, not address — the score reads the same, the enrollment path doesn't.

What are Aspire Ollin University Preparatory Academy's CAASPP test scores?
On the 2025 CAASPP Smarter Balanced Assessment, 28.2% of students at Aspire Ollin University Preparatory Academy met or exceeded the state standard in ELA and Math combined, and 10.4% exceeded it. The gap between those numbers matters: 17.8% of students are at the proficiency floor, while 10.4% pushed past it. Most rating sites report only the combined "proficient" number.

How does Aspire Ollin University Preparatory Academy rank in California?
Aspire Ollin University Preparatory Academy ranks #1,294 among California middle schools by Scope Score, placing it in the 42nd percentile. This ranking is based on a weighted composite of 2025 CAASPP test performance (exceeded and met rates), grade-level growth (Grade 6 to grade 8 growth), chronic absenteeism, and suspension rate. Unlike single-number ratings, the Scope Score shows what drives the ranking so parents can decide what matters most to their family. See full methodology.
Is Aspire Ollin University Preparatory Academy getting better or worse?
Based on 2025 CAASPP data, proficiency at Aspire Ollin University Preparatory Academy decreases by 7.9 percentage points from Grade 6 to grade 8 growth. This downward pattern doesn't necessarily mean the school is failing — it can reflect cohort differences, demographic shifts, or curriculum changes. A campus visit and conversation with teachers can reveal what the numbers can't. Growth trajectory is weighted at 15% in the middle Scope Score because it measures what the school does, not just who walks in the door.
