Summary

Aspire Slauson Academy Charter is a K-6 elementary school serving 303 students in Los Angeles, operating within the Aspire Slauson Academy Charter District.

The school faces significant academic challenges, with its performance ranking in the bottom 3% of all California schools and showing a concerning decline over recent years. Student proficiency in core subjects like English, Math, and Science is well below state averages, and the school spends less per student than many nearby schools in the Los Angeles Unified district, such as Fifty-Second Street Elementary and Seventy-Fifth Street Elementary. While chronic absenteeism has improved, the student-teacher ratio is higher than at most surrounding schools.

Notably, other schools serving similar student populations achieve stronger results, including nearby charters like Aspire Juanita Tate Academy Charter and traditional public schools like Sixty-First Street Elementary. This suggests demographic factors alone do not determine outcomes. Despite a recent increase in funding, Aspire Slauson's academic performance has continued to drop, indicating a need to examine how resources are used and to learn from the successful practices of higher-performing neighboring schools.
