Summary
Equipo Academy is a public charter high school in Las Vegas, Nevada, serving 855 students in grades 6-12. 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.
Equipo Academy has faced some academic challenges, with proficiency rates in math, reading, and science consistently underperforming compared to state and district averages. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school's proficiency rates were 21.2% in math, 37.1% in reading, and 24% in science, compared to the state averages of 35.4%, 45.6%, and 27.2%, respectively. The school's graduation rates have also been mixed, ranging from 81.4% to 94.5% in recent years, which is generally lower than the state and district averages. Additionally, Equipo Academy has struggled with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 5% to 26.6% in recent years, significantly higher than the state and district averages.
Despite these challenges, Equipo Academy's performance is generally better than some nearby traditional public schools, such as Spring Mountain J-Senior High School and Eldorado High School, which have even lower proficiency rates and school rankings. However, the school's performance is lower than the nearby Nevada State High School Sunrise, a charter school that has higher proficiency rates and a higher school ranking. Equipo Academy's higher per-student spending compared to the state average suggests that factors beyond funding may be contributing to the school's challenges, and the school may need to explore targeted interventions and support systems to address the unique needs of its diverse student population.
