How Aspire Slauson Academy Charter compares with California and U.S. medians
What stands out at Aspire Slauson Academy Charter
Aspire Slauson Academy Charter is a higher-need, mid-sized charter elementary school in Los Angeles, California, enrolling 303 students.
Class loads run heavy: 37.9:1 is larger than about 99% of California schools and 76% above the 21.5:1 state mean, so each teacher carries more students than is typical.
Its free-meal eligibility rate of 63.9% lands close to the California typical range, neither a high- nor low-need campus by this measure.
Enrollment of 303 puts it in the smaller third of California schools by headcount.
Its Resource Investment Index trails 98% of the 9,998 California schools with a score on record, one of the lower results on this measure.
Among 1,157 similarly sized, similarly resourced-need California schools statewide, it ranks #1,110, in the lower tier once campus size and economic need are matched.
Its student body is predominantly Hispanic or Latino (87% of enrollment) (diversity index 24/100).
Chronic absenteeism is elevated: 49.8% of students missed 10% or more of school days (2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection).
Its district draws 19.0% of revenue from federal sources, an above-typical federal share that tends to track a higher-need student population.
Among Los Angeles's elementary schools, it stands alongside Wish Community (860 students): Aspire Slauson Academy Charter is smaller than that campus by headcount and runs heavier classes (37.9:1 vs 23.2:1).
Aspire Slauson Academy Charter District is a single-school charter district, so Aspire Slauson Academy Charter operates independently rather than alongside district-mates.
