Freedom Classical Academy K-8

Q: Is Freedom Classical Academy K-8 a good school?

Freedom Classical Academy K-8 ranks 179 th of 377 Nevada elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 3 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Freedom Classical Academy K-8 is a public charter school located in North Las Vegas, Nevada, serving 1,054 students from kindergarten to 8th grade. The school is part of the State Sponsored Charter Schools district, which is ranked 2 out of 13 in Nevada and has a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Freedom Classical Academy K-8 consistently outperforms the state average in mathematics, reading, and science proficiency across all grade levels. The school's 3rd and 8th-grade students perform particularly well in mathematics, while 6th, 7th, and 8th-grade students excel in reading. Although the school's science proficiency is lower than its mathematics and reading performance, it still exceeds the state average, especially in 8th-grade science. The school has maintained a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past several years, ranking in the top half of Nevada elementary schools, a notable achievement compared to many nearby Clark County public schools with lower rankings.

One interesting finding is the school's diverse student population, with a higher percentage of Hispanic students (around 50%) compared to the nearby public schools. Despite this demographic, Freedom Classical Academy K-8 is able to achieve strong academic results, suggesting that the school's educational approach and resources are effectively meeting the needs of its diverse student body. However, the school's relatively high student-teacher ratio, ranging from 31 to 43.9 students per teacher, may be a concern, as it could impact the level of individual attention and support provided to 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.
