Summary:
The Aspire Alexander Twilight College Prep Academy District consists of a single elementary public charter school, Aspire Alexander Twilight College Preparatory Academy, located in Sacramento, California. Despite being the only school in the district, Aspire Alexander Twilight College Preparatory Academy has consistently ranked in the bottom 10% of California elementary schools over the past three school years, with a statewide ranking between 5,198 and 5,611 out of approximately 5,800 to 5,900 schools.
The school's performance is concerning, with low proficiency rates on standardized tests across all grade levels and subject areas. In the 2023-2024 school year, the school's proficiency rates ranged from 6.56% to 22.58% in English Language Arts/Literacy, and 11.48% to 20.31% in Mathematics, compared to state averages of 42.8% to 47.37% and 35.02% to 45.64%, respectively. Additionally, the school has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 38.2%, which is significantly higher than the state average.
Given the school's consistently low performance and the potential challenges it faces, such as a high percentage of students from low-income families (83.45% eligible for free or reduced-price lunch), there is a clear need for significant improvement in order to better serve its students and community. This may require a comprehensive review of the school's curriculum, teaching practices, and support services, as well as collaboration with the district and community to address the underlying issues.
