State Sponsored Charter Schools

The State Sponsored Charter Schools district in Nevada is home to 81 schools, including 45 elementary schools, 4 middle schools, 18 high schools, and 14 alternative schools, serving a wide range of student performance levels.

Several schools in the district stand out as exceptional performers, including Pinecrest Academy of Nevada Inspirada, ranked #1 out of 379 Nevada elementary schools, and Doral Academy of Northern Nevada, ranked #5 out of 377 elementary schools. These top-performing schools often have proficiency rates over 80% in both math and reading. Other high-achieving schools include Coral Academy Centennial Hills and Coral Academy Sandy Ridge, which is ranked #2 out of 97 Nevada high schools.

However, the district also includes some lower-performing schools, with math and reading proficiency rates below 20% at the weaker institutions. Graduation rates vary, with several schools achieving around 81.6%, while chronic absenteeism is high across the district, averaging 26.6%. The top-performing schools demonstrate the potential for all students in the district to reach high levels of academic proficiency, and understanding the factors that drive these differences in outcomes can inform strategies to raise achievement throughout the system.
