State Sponsored Charter Schools

The State-Sponsored Charter Schools district in Nevada consists of 79 schools, including 45 elementary schools, 6 middle schools, 17 high schools, and 11 alternative schools. The district as a whole is ranked 2 out of 12 in Nevada and is rated 5 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

Some of the standout schools in the district include Pinecrest Academy of Nevada Inspirada, which is ranked #1 out of 384 Nevada elementary schools and has exceptional test scores, and Doral Academy of Northern Nevada, which is ranked #9 out of 384 Nevada elementary schools and also has very high test scores. At the high school level, Coral Academy Sandy Ridge is ranked #6 out of 96 Nevada high schools and has outstanding performance. The Nevada State High School Henderson, Nevada State High School Summerlin, and Nevada State High School Downtown Henderson are all high-performing high schools, ranking in the top 10-20 in the state.

While the district has a mix of high-achieving and struggling schools, the overall performance is strong, with district-wide average proficiency rates ranging from 34.1% in 8th grade math to 57.4% in 5th grade reading. However, there is a persistent achievement gap, with schools serving higher percentages of minority and economically disadvantaged students tending to have lower test scores on average. Identifying and replicating the practices of the top-performing schools could help raise achievement across the State-Sponsored Charter Schools district.
