Closures
In recent years, due to declining enrollment rates, Azusa has seen numerous school closures. Gladstone Street Elementary School was closed and repurposed as an adult education center; 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 merge more students into a smaller amount 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.
