Aspire Charter Academy is considered a Model Orange County Charter Elementary School for our specialized focus on positive behaviors and activities that uplift young minds and spirits. We are determined to create and foster a ‘family’ atmosphere so that every child can realize their full potential.
Aspire Charter Academy has an open enrollment of no more than 140 students. Aspire’s enrollment is open so long as there is space available in the classrooms.
Leadership
Aspire Charter Academy was founded by Sheree' Fox and Pamela Schenkel. They created our school to serve students and families in our community that are at risk of being lost in larger schools. Our school is intentionally small so that we can build relationships with our students and families to provide them with a great school experience.
Since the retirement of our founders, we have acquired an Administrative team that continues and builds on the foundation they laid. They share the founding vision, continue to build relationships with students and families to enrich the learning experience and build invaluable partnerships to help connect our families to local resources.
Last, but certainly not least, our school would not be what it is now without our fantastic team of teachers and support staff. We cannot emphasize enough the effect they have on our students and their futures. We are so honored they choose to work with us.

Performance and Programs
Aspire Charter Academy is now an alternative school. We fought hard to obtain that rating. We earned that designation because of the intensive services that we provide. Therefore, we no longer receive a school grade which is based on how many students pass the STAR and FAST tests. We now receive a School Improvement Rating and are rated on the amount of gains our students make.
