Measures test performance, attendance, and climate — not arts, community, or your kid. How we score →
Most rating sites would stop at “61% proficient” and call it done. Aspire Vincent Shalvey Academy deserves a closer read. The school sits in Stockton, where three in five students qualify for free or reduced lunch — and reading the numbers without that context misreads the school.
The headline number: 61.2% of low-income students met the ELA standard — versus 38.2% for the same group statewide.
As a charter, Aspire Vincent Shalvey Academy enrolls by application, not address — the score reads the same, the enrollment path doesn't.
