Summary:
The Aspire Inskeep Academy Charter District consists of a single elementary school, Aspire Inskeep Academy Charter, serving grades K-6 with 308 students in Los Angeles.
This school serves a community with very high economic need, with over 94% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, and faces a significant challenge with chronic absenteeism, which is much higher than the state average. Despite spending substantially more per student than the typical California school, academic performance is below state averages, particularly in mathematics and science, and the school's statewide ranking has declined over the past three years. There are notable differences in performance between grade levels, with upper-grade students performing closer to state averages in English Language Arts but showing a sharp drop in math proficiency after 3rd grade.
For parents, the key takeaways are that the school invests significant resources and shows some strength in literacy for older students, but it is grappling with serious attendance issues and uneven academic results, especially in math. The school's performance trajectory suggests these are persistent challenges that the district is working to address internally, as it is a single-school district without other schools in its system for comparison or shared resources.
