Summary

Aspen Valley Prep Academy is a public charter elementary school serving 320 students in grades K-6 in Fresno, California, operating within its own Aspen Valley Prep Academy District.

The school serves a community with significant economic need, and while its test scores in English, math, and science are below the state average, they are generally comparable to or slightly better than several nearby schools with similar student populations, such as Wilson Elementary and Slater Elementary. Aspen Valley differentiates itself with a much lower chronic absenteeism rate (18.4%) than these neighboring schools and maintains a lower student-teacher ratio. However, its statewide academic ranking has declined over the past few years despite a significant increase in per-student spending, which is now higher than most local schools.

Performance varies widely by grade, with 6th grade showing relative strength and 4th grade facing particular challenges. A notable comparison is Morris E. Dailey Charter Elementary, a higher-performing school in the area with lower chronic absenteeism and lower per-student spending. Overall, Aspen Valley shows success in improving student attendance but has not yet translated that or its higher resources into consistent academic gains across all grades.
