Summary:

Democracy Prep at Agassi Middle is a public charter middle school in Las Vegas, Nevada, serving 375 students in grades 6-8. The school is part of the State Sponsored Charter Schools district, which is ranked 2 out of 13 districts in Nevada and has a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While the school has a significantly higher percentage of African American (67.47%) and Hispanic (27.47%) students compared to nearby schools, its academic performance has been consistently below the state and district averages. In the 2023-2024 school year, the school's overall mathematics proficiency was 13.3%, compared to 45% for the State Sponsored Charter Schools district and 32.6% for the state of Nevada. Additionally, the school's statewide ranking has declined over the past few years, from 72nd out of 145 Nevada middle schools in 2020-2021 to 110th out of 153 in 2023-2024, with a current rating of 1 out of 5 stars from SchoolDigger.

Despite the school's higher spending per student, which has increased from $6,608 in 2020-2021 to $9,141 in 2021-2022, the academic performance remains significantly below the district and state averages. This suggests that additional funding alone may not be the sole solution to improving student outcomes. Interestingly, the schools closest to Democracy Prep at Agassi Middle generally have lower test scores and rankings compared to the district and state averages, indicating that the area served by the school may face significant educational challenges.

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.
