GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Some of the teachers are really great but the overall learning experience is not enough. Teachers are held back by what other previous teachers have taught their students. Since the principal left in the 2019-2020 school year, so many of the original teachers have left and it was very common to have substitutes year round.

What I most enjoyed about Aspire Pacific Academy would be the amazing staff. There are so many friendly and passionate teachers who deeply care about the students' education. The school is always so clean because the of the custodians wanting to create a clean and safe space.

Aspire Pacific Academy has been a really good school, always motivates you to do better and think about a good future. Aspire has taught us several things about how our future starts with us, they teach us to become a better version and with studies they give a lot of effort in helping us. A change i would like to see is having several electives that students can pick and have good options for us to pick. Every staff in aspire pacific academy are very good they look out for everybody and makes you feel good.

I am a Magna Cum Laude student and the teachers would do anything to help out their students. This school does prepare you for college. Although i had only been in this...
