Most rating sites would stop at “60% proficient” and call it done. Aspire River Oaks Charter deserves a closer read. The school sits in Stockton, where two-thirds of students qualify for free or reduced lunch — and reading the numbers without that context misreads the school.

The headline number: 55.5% of low-income students met the ELA standard — versus 38.2% for the same group statewide.

As a charter, Aspire River Oaks Charter enrolls by application, not address — the score reads the same, the enrollment path doesn't.

How does Aspire River Oaks Charter rank in California?
Aspire River Oaks Charter ranks #1,247 among California elementary schools by Scope Score, placing it in the 78th percentile. This ranking is based on a weighted composite of 2025 CAASPP test performance (exceeded and met rates), grade-level growth (Grade 3 to grade 5 growth), chronic absenteeism, and suspension rate.
