Summary:
The Aspire Capitol Heights Academy District in Sacramento contains a single elementary school, Aspire Capitol Heights Academy, which serves grades K-8 with 222 students.
This school faces significant academic challenges, consistently ranking in the bottom 4% or lower of all California schools for the last three years. Student proficiency in core subjects is far below state averages, with only 13.67% proficient in English and 7.14% in math, though there is some variation with 4th grade performing relatively better. A major concern is the chronic absenteeism rate of 47.5%, which is more than double the state average and presents a substantial barrier to student learning.
Despite these difficulties, the school's per-student spending is notably high at $28,560, and there are pockets of relative strength in certain grades that could inform improvement strategies. Over 90% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating the school serves a highly economically disadvantaged community that likely requires comprehensive support addressing both academic and non-academic needs to improve outcomes.
