CIVICA Academy

Summary:

CIVICA Academy is a public charter school in North Las Vegas, Nevada, serving 767 students in grades K-9. 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 CIVICA Academy has a high percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients (99.87%), its academic performance, as measured by SBAC/SBAC test scores, is significantly lower than the state and district averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 20.1% of CIVICA Academy students were proficient or better in SBAC/Mathematics, compared to 45% for the district and 32.6% for the state of Nevada. The school's performance is particularly low in science, with only 11.6% of students proficient or better in SBAC/Science, compared to 35.2% for the district and 25.1% for the state.

Interestingly, the nearby charter schools, such as Amplus Durango, Sports Leadership and Management Academy, Founders Academy of Las Vegas, Mater Academy East, and Somerset Academy Losee, generally outperform CIVICA Academy in academic achievement, with lower student-teacher ratios and lower spending per student. These factors may contribute to the school's challenges in providing a high-quality education to its diverse student population.

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.
