Summary:
The Aspire Slauson Academy Charter District in Los Angeles, California, contains a single elementary school, Aspire Slauson Academy Charter, which serves grades K-6 with 303 students, nearly all of whom qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating it serves a high-needs community.
Aspire Slauson Academy Charter faces significant academic challenges, with student proficiency rates in English, math, and science far below California state averages; for example, only 9.29% of students met math standards compared to 37.3% statewide. The school's statewide ranking has also declined over the past three years, placing it in the bottom 3% of all elementary schools, and its chronic absenteeism rate is slightly higher than the state average.
Despite spending more per student than the typical California elementary school, the school's academic outcomes have not improved, highlighting a need to examine how resources are used. Key areas for attention include a steep drop in math proficiency in 5th grade and addressing student attendance, as the data suggests urgent, targeted interventions are required to better support student learning at this school.
