This is not a school that I would recommend. The staff turnover is huge and there is a reason for it. Close Quote

My grandchildren attend Doral Academy of Northern Nevada and I volunteer there. It is a WONDERFUL school. When I wait for the kids after school, it is so much fun to see all of the smiling, happy kids coming out at the end of the day. It is a very positive environment for learning with lots of parental involvement and support. All the faculty and staff without exception are excellent. Close Quote

This is one of the best schools in Northern NV. My child is very happy here and has been to several schools including a very prestigious private school. Doral blows these schools out of the water in terms of social emotional learning. The school administration and staff are top notch at Doral. They really care about each child and try to accommodate them as best as they can. I highly recommend this school. Close Quote

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.
