ASPIRE SLAUSON ACADEMY CHARTER

Aspire Slauson Academy Charter is a Title I public charter elementary school that is part of the Los Angeles Unified school district, located in Los Angeles, CA with about 341 students offering grade levels from Kindergarten to 6th Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education. With about 13 teachers, Aspire Slauson Academy Charter has a student/teacher ratio of about 26:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

Dedicated to serving the local community, the school focuses on closing the achievement gap by providing a rigorous, college-preparatory curriculum. Their educational model emphasizes small class sizes, data-driven instruction, and a supportive school culture designed to prepare students for success in both secondary education and beyond.

Beyond academics, Aspire Slauson Academy places a strong emphasis on character development and community engagement. The school strives to foster a safe, inclusive learning environment where students are encouraged to become critical thinkers and responsible citizens.
