Academic Performance
Academic performance for the Confluence Academies network is addressed on the Confluence main page and the academic performance of the Confluence Aspire Academy campus is addressed here. Confluence Aspire Academy is compared to individual schools nearby that serve the same community or are otherwise similar to the school.
Confluence Aspire Academy serves grades K-6 in the Walnut Park and surrounding neighborhoods. Confluence has identified the following schools with similar characteristics for comparison.
Herzog Academy (St Louis Public School serving same community)
Cote Brilliante Elementary (St Louis Public School serving same community)

The Missouri Assessment Program tests students in English Language Arts (Grades 3-8), Mathematics (Grades 3-8), and Science (Grades 5 and 8). The results of those assessments for the last five years are provided below. The graphs present student achievement both as MPI and the Percent of students scoring Proficient/Advanced. The MAP Performance Index (MPI) accounts for the number of students who score Proficient or Advanced in a subject as well as students performing at the Basic and Below Basic levels. Because there have been changes in the testing program during the last five years, a change in performance from one year to the next may reflect as much on the change in tests as on actual student performance.
Annual Performance Report (APR) and Attendance information is also presented. Note that Attendance reflects the percent of students whose attendance is 90% or better–not the average daily attendance. Missouri uses this measure as part of the APR reporting process.
State averages are represented with a Gray Square
St. Louis Public School averages are represented with a Red Square
Confluence Aspire is represented with a Gold Circle
Comparison schools are represented with various colored Diamonds
