Honors Academy of Literature

Summary:

Honors Academy of Literature is a public charter elementary school serving grades K-8 in Reno, Nevada, with a student population of 215. The school is part of the State Sponsored Charter Schools district, which is ranked 2 out of 13 districts in the state and has a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Academically, Honors Academy of Literature has seen fluctuations in its statewide ranking, ranging from 43rd out of 351 elementary schools in 2016-2017 to 152nd out of 380 in 2021-2022. While the school lags behind the district and state in mathematics and science proficiency, it performs better in reading, with a 2023-2024 proficiency rate of 44.7% for all grades, compared to 54.1% for the district and 41.3% for the state. The school's low percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, ranging from 8.84% to 12.73%, suggests a more affluent student population compared to nearby schools.

In terms of resources, Honors Academy of Literature has lower per-student spending and a higher student-teacher ratio than some of the nearby schools, such as Libby Booth Elementary and Dorothy Lemelson S.T.E.M. Academy Elementary School. This suggests the school may be operating with fewer resources, which could impact its ability to provide comprehensive educational programs and support for students.

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.
