Summary:
The Aspire Alexander Twilight College Prep Academy District in Sacramento, California, consists of a single elementary school, Aspire Alexander Twilight College Preparatory Academy, serving grades K-5.
This school serves a community with significant economic need, with over 80% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. Despite receiving substantial funding per student, which is above the state average, the school faces considerable academic challenges. Its proficiency rates in English, math, and science are significantly below state averages, and it has consistently ranked in the bottom 10% of all California schools for the past several years.
A major area of concern is chronic absenteeism, which at 30.4% is much higher than the state average and is a known barrier to student learning. The data suggests that improving daily attendance could be a critical first step toward better outcomes. For parents, this indicates a school environment where students face steep hurdles, and while resources are being invested, they have not yet translated into improved academic achievement across all grade levels.
