Summary:
The Aspire Firestone Academy Charter District consists of a single elementary school, Aspire Firestone Academy Charter, serving about 330 students in grades K-5 in South Gate, California.
This school serves a community with high economic need and shows a clear strength in mathematics, where students outperform the state average. However, performance in English Language Arts and science is below state averages, and the school has a significant challenge with chronic absenteeism, with nearly 30% of students missing too much school. The school's statewide ranking has varied considerably over the past few years, indicating inconsistent performance.
With per-student spending well above typical averages, the school is heavily invested in its students. The standout success in math demonstrates that strong academic outcomes are possible in this setting, but improving attendance and addressing instructional gaps in literacy and science are critical areas for focus to help all students succeed consistently.
