Aspire Alexander Twilight Secondary Academy

Summary:

Aspire Alexander Twilight Secondary Academy is a public charter high school located in Sacramento, California, serving grades 6-12 with a total enrollment of 505 students. The school is part of the Aspire Alexander Twilight Secondary Academy District, which is ranked 1413 out of 1568 districts in California and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Aspire Alexander Twilight Secondary Academy is a consistently low-performing school, ranking 1693 out of 2323 California high schools and receiving a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger for the 2023-2024 school year. The school's academic performance is particularly poor for its African American, Hispanic, White, and Multi-racial student groups, as well as its English Language Learner and Special Education students, all of which rank in the bottom quartile or half of California high schools. The school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science are significantly below the state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2023-2024, the school's 11th-grade proficiency rates were 47.92% in ELA (vs. 55.73% statewide) and 10.64% in Math (vs. 27.9% statewide).

Compared to nearby schools, such as Mira Loma High, which consistently ranks in the top 15% of California high schools, and other schools like San Juan Choices Charter, Vista Nueva Career and Technology High, and Grant Union High, Aspire Alexander Twilight Secondary Academy significantly underperforms. This may be due in part to the school's high concentration of students from low-income families (89.11% qualify for free or reduced-price lunch) and a very high student-teacher ratio of 43.7, which are both factors that can contribute to academic challenges.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
