Azusa Unified School District is a public unified school district based in Azusa, California, in Los Angeles County, California, United States.[1] The district serves students in Azusa, the northwestern portion of Covina, parts of southeast Irwindale, the northern portion of Vincent, most of Citrus, and the western portion of Glendora. The Board of Education is composed of five members, elected at large, serving a four-year term. The elections are held on a Tuesday after the first Monday in November of even-numbered years starting with the 2018 election.
In recent years, due to declining enrollment rates, Azusa has seen numerous school closures. Gladstone Street Elementary School was closed and repurposed as a continuation high school; while Mountain View Elementary closed permanently in 2019.[2] All existing middle schools and Ellington, Azusa's K-8 school, were closed to be replaced by Gladstone Middle School in 2023, which was repurposed as a middle school for the 2023-2024 school year. Powell Elementary later closed in 2022. These school closures were done to concentrate the students in a smaller number of schools. All high school-aged students will go to Azusa High School. [3] Foothill Middle School will be repurposed as the eastern campus for Azusa High School.
