Democracy Prep at Agassi High

Summary:

Democracy Prep at Agassi High is a public charter high school in Las Vegas, Nevada, serving 362 students in grades 9-12. The school is part of the highly-ranked State-Sponsored Charter Schools district, but its performance on key metrics lags behind many of the nearby public schools.

One of the school's most notable features is its significantly higher percentage of African American students (67.4%) compared to the surrounding schools, which range from 6.8% to 26.81% African American. Additionally, 100% of Democracy Prep at Agassi High's students receive free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. This is higher than the nearby schools, which range from 75.38% to 100% free and reduced lunch recipients. However, the school's test scores, particularly in ACT/Mathematics (22%) and ACT/English (40.7%) for 11th-grade students, are generally lower than the state-sponsored charter school averages and the Clark County School District averages.

Another key difference is the school's relatively high student-teacher ratio of 60.3 in the 2022-2023 school year, which is significantly higher than the nearby schools, which range from 3.2 to 26.5 students per teacher. Despite these challenges, Democracy Prep at Agassi High has shown some positive trends, such as improving its statewide ranking from 94 out of 96 Nevada high schools in 2020-2021 to 67 out of 96 in 2022-2023, suggesting that the school may have the potential to continue improving its performance with the right strategies and support.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

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.
