Summary

Amplus Durango is a K–12 alternative charter school at 8377 W Patrick Lane in Las Vegas, Nevada, serving 1,761 students as part of the State Sponsored Charter Schools district, which is rated 5 stars and ranks 2nd of 12 districts in Nevada. Its nearby same-district peers are other large charter alternatives: CIVICA Academy, Mater Academy East, Pinecrest Academy of Nevada Sloan Canyon, Founders Academy of Las Vegas, and Doral Academy Red Rock. The other nearby alternatives — Quest Program, Miller John F, and Stewart Helen J — are much smaller Clark County programs with 9, 102, and 123 students, so Amplus is closer in scale to the large charter networks than to those tiny programs.

Academically, Amplus performs above both its district and Nevada statewide averages on all SBAC all-grade measures and on the ACT. Reading is a clear strength at 69.0% proficiency, versus 58.0% district and 45.2% state. Math is 57.8% (district 48.7%, state 36.2%), science 44.0% (district 34.9%, state 25.5%), ACT English 78.1%, and ACT math 39.3% — all well above district and state. Math has improved steadily, from 48.2% in 2022–2023 to 57.8% in 2025–2026. Chronic absenteeism has also improved, from 19.7% in 2021–2022 to 14.8% in 2025–2026, better than the district's 17.2% and the state's 25.5%.

Among its large charter peers, Amplus sits in the upper-middle. Pinecrest Academy of Nevada Sloan Canyon and Doral Academy Red Rock generally lead SBAC math, reading, and science, and Founders Academy of Las Vegas and Pinecrest lead ACT English, while Amplus stays clearly ahead of CIVICA Academy and Mater Academy East. Amplus has the lowest reported per-student spending among these peers at $8,129 in 2023–2024. Grade-level results are uneven: 8th grade science is strong at 58.6% and 3rd grade math at 76.9%, but 5th grade science is just 14.5%, below district and state, and 8th grade math (42.8%) and reading (60.9%) are Amplus's lowest grade-level marks — still above district and state. High school EOC science results are suppressed. The student–teacher ratio improved to 31.8 in 2024–2025 from 38.6 in 2022–2023, though it remains high.

What people are saying

by a teacher
Friday, March 9, 2018

American Preparatory Academy has a school model that should be duplicated all over the world. The school/Administrators have implemented curriculums and a daily plan that utilizes time to the max. The teachers are exceptional and the students are the happiest I've witnessed at any school. Their motto to provide a safe and effective place for students to develop academically and in their characters is a high priority for the school. The volunteer programs they have implemented are amazingly effective. They are forerunners and should be acknowledged as one of the most effective school systems in the nation. Close Quote
