Summary:
The Aspire University Charter District contains a single elementary school, Aspire University Charter, which serves students in grades K-5. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom quarter of California elementary schools over the past three years, with proficiency rates well below the state averages in core academic subjects.
Aspire University Charter's academic performance is a significant concern, with 5th-grade proficiency rates of just 26.67% in English Language Arts and 23.33% in Mathematics, compared to the state averages of 47.37% and 35.02%, respectively. The school's proficiency rates in Science are also below the state averages. Additionally, the school has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 41.1%, which is substantially higher than the state average and may be contributing to the low academic performance.
Socioeconomic factors also appear to be a challenge for the school, as it has a high percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients at 77.33%, indicating a significant level of economic disadvantage among the student population. The school's student-teacher ratio of 26.3 to 1 is also higher than the state average, which may be a sign of resource constraints that could be hindering the school's ability to provide individualized attention and support to students.
