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 been closing schools. Gladstone Street Elementary School and Mountain View Elementary both closed in 2019.[2] All existing middle schools and Ellington, Azusa's K-8 school, were closed to be replaced by Gladstone High School in 2023, which became a middle school in the 2023-2024 school year. Powell Elementary closed down as well. These school closures were done to merge more students into a smaller amount of schools. For the 2023-2024 school year, all middle school-aged students will go to Gladstone High School, which will become a middle school, and 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.
