The Delta Academy J-Senior High School

Summary:

The Delta Academy J-Senior High School is a public charter high school serving grades 6-12 in North Las Vegas, Nevada, with a student population of 1,141 as of the 2022-2023 school year. The school's diverse student body includes 22% White, 22.96% African American, 37.42% Hispanic, 2.28% Asian, 0.7% Native American, 4.03% Pacific Islander, and 10.52% two or more races.

Despite its diverse student population, The Delta Academy J-Senior High School consistently ranks in the bottom quartile of Clark County high schools, with a ranking of 86 out of 97 schools in the 2023-2024 school year. The school's academic performance, as measured by proficiency rates on state assessments, is significantly lower than the state and district averages across all subject areas and grade levels. Additionally, the school has an extremely high percentage of students (over 99%) who qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

Interestingly, The Delta Academy J-Senior High School's performance lags significantly behind nearby schools, even those with similar student demographics. For example, West Preparatory Institute J-Senior High School, which has a similar racial and socioeconomic makeup, outperforms The Delta Academy J-Senior High School on most academic measures. Additionally, the school has a very high student-teacher ratio of 76 students per teacher, which is significantly higher than the ratios of nearby schools, and a relatively low per-student spending of $6,890 in the 2021-2022 school year, suggesting resource constraints that may be impacting its ability to provide a high-quality educational experience for its students.

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.

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.
