Summary:
Aspire Alexander Twilight Secondary Academy is the sole public charter high school serving grades 6-12 in the Aspire Alexander Twilight Secondary Academy District. With an enrollment of 505 students, the school faces significant challenges in providing a high-quality education, as evidenced by its low test scores, high chronic absenteeism, and relatively high dropout rate.
The school's test scores are significantly below the statewide averages across all grade levels and subject areas, with only 47.92% of 11th-grade students proficient or better in English Language Arts/Literacy, and just 10.64% proficient or better in Mathematics. The school's graduation rate of 89.8% is relatively high, but its dropout rate of 5.1% is concerning. Additionally, the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 39.1% is very high, which may be a contributing factor to the low test scores and high dropout rate.
Despite these challenges, Aspire Alexander Twilight Secondary Academy serves a high-poverty student population, with 89.11% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. The school's student-teacher ratio of 43.7 to 1 is also quite high, which may make it difficult for teachers to provide individualized attention and support to students. Overall, the data suggests that the school is in need of targeted interventions and support to improve its performance and outcomes for its students.
