Summary

Mater Mountain Vista is a public charter elementary and middle school in Las Vegas, Nevada, serving 1,103 students in grades PK-8. The school is part of the State Sponsored Charter Schools district, which is ranked 1 out of 12 districts in Nevada and has a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Mater Mountain Vista has shown consistent academic performance, with students scoring above the state average in both math and reading proficiency across all grades. In the 2024-2025 school year, the school's overall math proficiency was 46.1%, compared to the state average of 35.4%, and its reading proficiency was 58.3%, compared to the state average of 45.6%. The school's academic performance is significantly stronger than that of the nearby Discovery Charter School Sandhill, as well as the traditional public schools in the Clark County district, such as Cunningham Cynthia Elementary School and Smith Hal Elementary School.

However, Mater Mountain Vista has experienced a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 14.0% to 26.6% over the past few years, which is an area of concern. Additionally, the school's spending per student has decreased from $10,084 in 2018-2019 to $8,327 in 2021-2022, and its student-teacher ratio has increased from 51.1 in 2022-2023 to 55.8 in 2023-2024, which is significantly higher than the state average. These factors may have implications for the school's ability to provide resources and support for its students, and addressing these issues could potentially lead to improved academic outcomes.
