Preschool | Grades K-7 | Aspire Charter Academy

Aspire Charter Academy is located in Gary, IN and is in Aspire Charter Academy School District. It is a charter school that serves 598 students in grades K-7.

Charter schools are public schools, but differ from traditional public schools in that they are independent and are operated by educators, parents, community leaders, educational entrepreneurs, or others. Funding for charter schools is based on designated local or state educational organizations. Those organizations are responsible for monitoring and assessing the quality and effectiveness of education, but permit the schools to operate outside of the traditional public school education system.

Aspire Charter Academy did not make AYP in 2010. Under No Child Left Behind, a school makes Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) if it achieves the minimum levels of improvement determined by the state of Indiana in terms of student performance and other accountability measures. See Aspire Charter Academy's test results to learn more about school performance.

In 2011, Aspire Charter Academy had 20 students for every full-time equivalent teacher. The Indiana average is 18 students per full-time equivalent teacher. Learn more about Aspire Charter Academy's students and teachers. more
