- The staff at Aspire is amazing - everybody knows everybody and parents always feel welcomed and part of decision making. Parent volunteer hours are mandatory so parent/student involvement is very strong. Teachers are very involved with all students and always provide one-on-one assistance. They set high standards for students and they help students achieve them every step of the way. The environment is very encouraging and positive.
