School closures[edit]

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] After the 2022-2023 school year, Azusa will drastically reorganize the school district to merge more students into a smaller amount of schools. 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. All existing middle schools in Azusa will close, as well as Azusa's only K-8 school, Alice M. Ellington Elementary. Powell Elementary School will close as well.[3]
