Aspire Public Schools: $327.0M Revenue, $228.8M Program Expenses

Aspire Public Schools earns an A on the nonprofit efficiency rubric — a top-tier rating that reflects strong program-spending ratios, reasonable executive compensation, and stable financial reserves. The composite score of 83/100 places it in the upper bracket of U.S. tax-exempt organizations.

Aspire Public Schools is a large nonprofit by U.S. standards: $327.0M in 2023 revenue against $293.3M in expenses. Organizations in this revenue bracket usually run multiple programs with permanent staff and a meaningful endowment or reserve. Program-spending efficiency is strong: 80% of total expenses flow to program activities, above the 75% benchmark most third-party charity raters use.

Revenue has grown meaningfully across the five-year filing history — a sign of expanding donor base, new grants, or scaling programs. Aspire Public Schools reported $327.0M in 2023, up notably from the start of the window. CEO compensation is reported as zero in the filing — typical for nonprofits where the chief executive is paid through a related entity (parent system, university, or foundation) rather than the filing organization itself, or for small organizations whose chief is a volunteer or board member. In the Education category, Aspire Public Schools sits alongside universities, K-12 systems, scholarship funds, and education-research organizations. Education-sector nonprofits often hold large endowments, which affects how the reserves-and-revenue ratios should be read.
