Summary:
The Aspire Langston Hughes Academy District consists of a single public charter high school, Aspire Langston Hughes Academy, serving grades 6-12 with a total enrollment of 770 students.
Despite the school's relatively low academic performance on standardized tests, with test scores in English Language Arts and Mathematics consistently below state averages, Aspire Langston Hughes Academy appears to be successful in keeping students engaged and on track to graduate, with a high 94.9% four-year graduation rate and a low 3.1% dropout rate. However, the school's high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, at 65.84%, indicates that it serves a predominantly low-income student population, which can present unique challenges in terms of access to resources and academic support.
The school's student-teacher ratio of 29:1 is higher than the state average, which may be a contributing factor to its academic underperformance, as larger class sizes can make it more difficult for teachers to provide individualized attention and support to students. Overall, the data suggests that Aspire Langston Hughes Academy is facing significant challenges in terms of academic achievement, but is also demonstrating success in keeping students engaged and on track to graduate, and further analysis and targeted interventions may be necessary to address the school's performance gaps and support the needs of its student population.
