Summary
Futuro Academy Elementary is a PK–5 charter school at 920 N. Lamb Blvd. in Las Vegas, NV, serving 473 students as part of the State Sponsored Charter Schools district, one of Nevada's highest-rated districts (rank 2 of 12, 5 stars). The school reports 100% free/reduced-price lunch eligibility, so it serves an entirely high-need student population.
Futuro is a clear turnaround story: its state rank climbed from 356th of 380 (6th percentile, 0 stars) in 2021–2022 to 178th of 376 (53rd percentile, 3 stars) in 2025–2026. Reading is the standout strength. All-grade reading proficiency is 49.5%, above the state's 45.2%, and every tested grade beats the state reading average — fifth grade is especially strong at 56.3% versus 52.7% statewide. Math is improving but uneven: all-grade math is 35.9%, essentially at the state's 36.2% but well below the charter district's 48.7%. Third-grade math is the weakest spot at 31.5% versus 46.7% statewide, while fourth-grade math (43.2%) is essentially at the state average of 43.4%. Science results were suppressed by the state for 2025–2026, so they are unknown, not zero.
Chronic absenteeism is the biggest concern. It has fallen sharply, from 57.0% in 2021–2022 to 31.0% in 2025–2026, but still exceeds the state's 25.5% and the district's 17.2%. Among nearby schools, only Cortez Manuel J Elementary School (33.8%) and Lynch Ann Elementary School (38.9%) are higher. Mater Bonanza, a same-district charter less than a mile away, ranks higher overall (77th percentile, 4 stars), with stronger math (46.2%) and far lower absenteeism (9.0%), though Futuro's reading (49.5%) slightly edges Mater's 48.9%. Futuro also spends less per student — $13,451 in 2023–2024 — than every listed Clark County neighbor, which range from $14,395 to $20,112, while outperforming nearly all of them in reading and math. Its reported student-teacher ratio of 29.5 is higher than those Clark County schools (14–18.5) but lower than Mater Bonanza's 39.
