Quest Academy Northwest

Summary:

Quest Academy Northwest is a public charter elementary school serving 452 students in grades K-8 in Las Vegas, Nevada. The school has a predominantly African American (48.45%) and Hispanic (29.42%) student population, with a high percentage of students from low-income families.

Academically, Quest Academy Northwest has consistently underperformed compared to the state and its district (State Sponsored Charter Schools) in standardized test scores across all grade levels and subjects. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, the school's proficiency rates in SBAC Mathematics (20.5%) and SBAC Reading (36.5%) were significantly lower than the state (32.6% and 41.3%, respectively) and district (45% and 54.1%, respectively) averages. The school's performance has been particularly weak in SBAC Science, with only 15.8% of students proficient or better, compared to 25.1% statewide and 35.2% in the district.

In contrast, nearby charter schools like Legacy Traditional School North Valley and Somerset Academy Lone Mountain have generally outperformed Quest Academy Northwest in academic metrics, despite serving student populations with varying demographic characteristics. For example, Somerset Academy Lone Mountain, which has a more diverse student population with a lower percentage of low-income students, has consistently achieved proficiency rates well above the state and district averages in both Mathematics and Reading.

Open Quote After all the issues that the school has gone through finally we see the light at the end of the tunnel. I have nothing but great things to say about the school staff and teachers. the way they have been resolving and dealing with issues is more than enough for me to keep my child in their hands. Thank You! Close Quote

Open Quote I love Quest Academy. My children both attend this school. My oldest started in 2nd grade and is currently in middle school. My youngest started in Kindergarten and is now in 2nd grade. The teachers take time to not only educate but to foster life skills and nurture the students. The administration works effectively to resolve all matters and works closely with the teachers to ensure academic success. Close Quote

Open Quote The school is full of bullies and the admin does not care to stop them.

The teachers do not respond to communication from parents.

And they are terrible book keepers! --If you make payments to them, make sure your payments are check or card and keep the receipts!

Over all just an awful place. Close Quote

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
