Summary

Alpine Academy High School is a small public charter high school in Sparks, Nevada, serving grades 9–12 with 224 students, and it belongs to the State Sponsored Charter Schools district, which ranks 2nd of 12 districts statewide (83rd percentile, 5 stars). The school itself ranked 58th of 105 Nevada high schools in 2025-26 — 45th percentile, 2 stars — a decline from its 4-star, 81st-percentile showing in 2018-19.

In the classroom, Alpine's English ACT proficiency of 54.1% in 2025-26 is above its district (52.8%) and the state (50.8%), and above nearby comprehensive high schools such as Edward C. Reed High School, Earl Wooster High School, Sparks High School, and Procter R. Hug High School. Science is weaker: 20.5% proficient on the Science EOC, below district and state, though still above those four schools. Math ACT results are suppressed to protect privacy, so no current math comparison is possible. The biggest concern is attendance: 48.5% of students were chronically absent, nearly triple the district rate of 17.2% and almost double the state's 25.5%, and up sharply from roughly 30% in 2021-23. The last reported graduation rate was 90.9% in 2022-23; the 2024-25 school-level rate is not reported.

Alpine serves a lower-income population than most large neighborhood high schools — 19.64% free/reduced lunch versus 100% at Wooster, Hug, and Sparks — and spends less per student ($7,211 in 2023-24) than any nearby school with data. Its student-teacher ratio is 22.4. Overall, it sits above the struggling comprehensive high schools but below the stronger academies, including Academy Of Arts Careers & Technical, Academy For Career Education, Tmcc Magnet School, and Davidson Academy.
