Summary:
The Aspire APEX Academy District contains only one elementary school, Aspire APEX Academy, which serves students in grades K-5. Based on the available data, Aspire APEX Academy appears to be a consistently low-performing school, ranking among the bottom 5% of elementary schools in California over the past three school years.
Aspire APEX Academy faces significant challenges, including a chronic absenteeism rate of 45%, which is much higher than the state average. The school's academic performance is also well below state standards, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science ranging from just 5.56% to 18.52%, compared to state averages of 32.68% to 47.37%. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students (76.87%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.
The data suggests that Aspire APEX Academy may be struggling with resource constraints and difficulty in attracting and retaining qualified teachers, as evidenced by the high student-teacher ratio of 28.7. Addressing the root causes of the school's low performance, such as chronic absenteeism, socioeconomic factors, and staffing challenges, will be crucial for improving student outcomes and moving the school towards better academic achievement.
