Summary:
The Aspire Alexander Twilight Secondary Academy District in Sacramento, California, is a unique single-school district serving grades 6 through 12 at its only institution, Aspire Alexander Twilight Secondary Academy.
This school faces significant academic challenges, with student proficiency in English, math, and science falling well below state averages, and its statewide ranking has declined over the past three years. A major area of concern is chronic absenteeism, which at 36.1% is nearly double the California average, likely impacting overall test scores. However, the school shows resilience in its 88.5% graduation rate, which is slightly above the state average, suggesting students who attend regularly are supported toward completion.
Despite these struggles, the school invests considerable resources, spending $18,260 per student. Key areas for improvement include middle-grade mathematics, where proficiency is critically low, and addressing the high absenteeism rate. For parents, this school represents a setting with notable challenges but also a commitment to graduating students, requiring targeted support to help all learners achieve their potential.
