Summary:
The Aspire Alexander Twilight College Prep Academy District in Sacramento contains a single elementary school, Aspire Alexander Twilight College Preparatory Academy, serving grades K-5 with 437 students.
This school faces significant academic challenges, consistently ranking in the bottom percentiles of California elementary schools, with student proficiency in English, math, and science far below state averages. While the district invests heavily, spending over $20,000 per student, these resources have not yet translated into improved standardized test scores. A major area of concern is chronic absenteeism, with nearly one-third of students missing a significant amount of school, which is a key barrier to learning.
Despite these difficulties, the school serves a community where over 80% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic need. Performance data shows that students tend to fall further behind in upper grades, suggesting a need for targeted academic support. For parents, understanding the school's current academic standing, its high absenteeism rate, and the substantial per-student investment provides crucial context about the educational environment and the scale of improvement needed.
