Summary:
The Aspire Capitol Heights Academy District consists of a single elementary school, Aspire Capitol Heights Academy, which serves grades K-8. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom 1% of California elementary schools over the past three years, indicating significant academic underperformance.
Aspire Capitol Heights Academy's proficiency rates in English Language Arts/Literacy, Mathematics, and Science are substantially lower than the state averages across all grade levels. For example, in 2023-2024, the school's proficiency rate in English Language Arts/Literacy was just 10.24%, compared to the state average of 47.04%. The school also has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 42.6%, which is significantly higher than the state average and can contribute to the low academic performance.

This socioeconomic challenge may present additional barriers to student learning and achievement. Overall, the data suggests that the Aspire Capitol Heights Academy District and its sole school, Aspire Capitol Heights Academy, face significant academic and socioeconomic hurdles that require targeted interventions and support to improve student outcomes.
