Futuro Academy Elementary

Q: Is Futuro Academy Elementary a good school?

Futuro Academy Elementary ranks 215 th of 377 Nevada elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 2 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Futuro Academy Elementary is a public charter elementary school in Las Vegas, Nevada, serving 462 students from kindergarten to 5th 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.

While Futuro Academy Elementary has a significantly higher percentage of Hispanic students (80.95%) compared to the surrounding schools, its academic performance is a concern. The school's test scores in both mathematics and reading are consistently lower than the state and State Sponsored Charter Schools averages. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, the school's overall mathematics proficiency rate was 27.2%, compared to the state average of 32.6% and the district average of 45%. Additionally, Futuro Academy Elementary has a 100% free and reduced lunch rate, indicating that all of its students come from economically disadvantaged backgrounds.

Interestingly, Futuro Academy Elementary's performance is significantly lower than the nearby charter schools, such as Battle Born Academy and Mater Bonanza, which have higher test scores and better statewide rankings. The school's high student-teacher ratio of 77 students per teacher may also be a challenge in providing individualized attention and support to students, which could impact their academic outcomes. Overall, Futuro Academy Elementary faces several challenges, and its performance has declined over the past few years, suggesting the need for a closer examination of the school's practices and strategies to improve student outcomes.

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.
