Summary:
The Aveson Global Leadership Academy District in Pasadena, California, consists of a single charter school, Aveson Global Leadership Academy, which serves grades 6 through 12 with approximately 200 students.
This school presents a complex picture, showing both strengths and significant challenges. On a positive note, it maintains a favorable student-teacher ratio and its 6th graders perform above the state average in English Language Arts. However, the school has experienced a dramatic drop in its statewide ranking over the past year, now placing in the lower 25th percentile. Academic performance is mixed, with overall proficiency rates in English, math, and science falling below state averages, and a particularly concerning proficiency rate of just 10% in 11th-grade math.
A major area of concern is student attendance, with a chronic absenteeism rate of 42.8%, which is more than double the state average. This high rate of missed school is a significant barrier to learning and likely contributes to the academic struggles. Furthermore, despite a high level of per-student spending, the school's recent performance decline and below-average outcomes in key subjects suggest a need to evaluate how effectively these substantial resources are supporting student achievement.
