Summary:
The Aspire Antonio Maria Lugo Academy, the sole elementary public charter school in the Aspire Antonio Maria Lugo Academy District, serves grades K-6 and has an enrollment of 421 students in Huntington Park, California. While the school's statewide ranking has fluctuated in recent years, it currently ranks 3,322 out of 5,862 California elementary schools and is rated 2 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger, indicating below-average performance compared to other schools in the state.
The school's proficiency rates in Smarter Balanced Assessments for English Language Arts and Mathematics are generally lower than the statewide averages, with some exceptions in 3rd and 4th-grade math. Additionally, the school's proficiency rate in CAST Science assessments is significantly lower than the statewide average. These academic performance challenges may be influenced by the school's high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, at 80.29%, and its relatively high student-teacher ratio of 27.5 to 1.
Another area of concern is the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 34.0% in the 2022-2023 school year, which is significantly higher than the state average. The school's leadership and the district should closely examine these findings and develop a comprehensive plan to address the identified challenges and improve the educational experience and outcomes for the students.
