Los Angeles

Welcome to the Los Angeles Region at Aspire Public Schools!  Our region has 11 high-performing schools serving over 4,000 students in the South Los Angeles, Huntington Park, and South Gate communities.  We have eight elementary schools and three secondary schools.  

Within Los Angeles, we strive to imbue our work with the “Super Seven” qualities: Inspire, Innovate, Grapple, Discover, Thrive, Create and Love.  Our schools are focused on equity and meeting the needs of all scholars in a variety of different ways.  We have rich academic curriculum, strong connections to technology through our Blended Learning Programs, and an emphasis on educating the whole child through our Social Emotional Learning Programs.
