Democracy Prep at Agassi Elementary

Q: Is Democracy Prep at Agassi Elementary a good school?

Democracy Prep at Agassi Elementary ranks 282 nd of 377 Nevada elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 1 star out of 5.

Summary:

Democracy Prep at Agassi Elementary is a public charter elementary school in Las Vegas, Nevada, serving 521 students from kindergarten to 5th grade. The school is part of the State Sponsored Charter Schools district, which is ranked 5 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger.

While the school has a significantly higher percentage of African American students (72.94%) compared to nearby schools, it consistently underperforms the district and state in both mathematics and reading proficiency. In the 2023-2024 school year, the school's mathematics proficiency rate was 27%, compared to 45% for the district and 32.6% for the Clark County state. Additionally, Democracy Prep at Agassi Elementary has a low statewide ranking, placing between 196th and 282nd out of 377-384 Nevada elementary schools in the past three school years, with a 1-2 star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating below-average performance.

The school's high-poverty student population, with 100% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, and relatively low spending per student, ranging from $7,706 to $9,278 in the past two school years, may contribute to the academic challenges faced by the school. In comparison, nearby schools like Toland Helen Anderson International Academy and Hoggard Mabel Elementary School have higher test scores, better statewide rankings, and more diverse student populations.

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.
