Chaparral High School

Summary:

Chaparral High School is a public high school in Las Vegas, Nevada, serving 2,256 students in grades 9-12 as part of the Clark County School District, the 5th largest school district in the United States. However, the school has consistently ranked among the lowest-performing high schools in Nevada, with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past several years.

Chaparral High School significantly underperforms compared to the state and district averages across various academic measures. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 6.7% of Chaparral students were proficient or better in the EOC Science Exam, compared to 20.2% statewide and 19.6% in the Clark County district. Similarly, only 14.5% of Chaparral's 11th-grade students were proficient or better in the ACT English exam, compared to 45.6% statewide and 46.3% in the district. The school also serves a predominantly low-income student population, with 99.91% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2022-2023 school year.

In contrast, nearby schools such as Explore Knowledge Academy J-Senior High School and Southeast Career Technical Academy High School demonstrate significantly higher academic performance and rankings. This suggests that there may be opportunities to learn from the successful practices and strategies employed by these higher-performing schools to address the challenges faced by Chaparral High School.

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.

Open Quote Chaparral is a special place. Graduation rate, star rating, and scores are all going up. Chaparral is on par with some of the best schools in Las Vegas! Close Quote

Wednesday, April 27, 2016

Open Quote I was a serious student, and cared whether my teachers were knowledgeable and effective. For the most part, I was more than satisfied. I was also satisfied with the variety of electives, access to technology, and social climate. I'm often surprised when I hear horror stories about high school, marveling that those years were not miserable for me. This is why I give four stars (above average) despite direct knowledge of similar schools for comparison's sake. 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.
