About Aspire Centennial College Preparatory Academy

Aspire Centennial College Preparatory Academy, located at 2079 Saturn Avenue in the Huntington Park area of Huntington Park, CA 90255, serves students in grades 6–8. Enrollment is about 519 students with a student–teacher ratio near 30:1. Female students slightly outnumber males, at about 51% female and 49% male. According to recent statewide academic reporting, roughly 23% of students are proficient in math, and around 34% are proficient in reading, based on objective accountability data. This public charter middle school operates within the Los Angeles Unified district’s charter segment, drawing a multi-grade middle cohort through choice rather than a single attendance boundary. Rather than relying on neighborhood assignment, Aspire Centennial’s enrollment reflects a citywide admissions process typical of charter schools, with families opting in from across Huntington Park and surrounding communities. Homes in the broader Huntington Park area show typical listing prices near $700,000, figures many local families reference when aligning where they live with school access and broader urban amenities. In the landscape of middle grade choices, this mix of citywide admissions, charter placement, and academic outcomes contributes to how some families approach middle schools in California without making evaluative comparisons.
