Summary

Democracy Prep at Agassi Elementary is a K–5 charter school in Las Vegas, NV, located at 1201 W Lake Mead Blvd, serving 529 students as part of the State Sponsored Charter Schools district — a district that ranks 2nd of 12 in Nevada with 5 stars, even though this campus does not share that success. In 2025–2026, Democracy Prep at Agassi Elementary ranks 354th of 376 Nevada elementary schools, putting it in the 6th percentile with 0 stars. That placement is part of a steady slide: the school ranked 282nd (25th percentile) in 2023–2024 and 196th (49th percentile) in 2022–2023. It serves a 100% free/reduced-lunch population, so economic need is very high, but that alone does not explain the results.

Compared with nearby schools, the differences in resources and staffing are striking. The school reported $7,729 per student in 2023–2024, roughly 35% of the nearby average of about $21,852 (nearby schools range from $17,192 to $25,863). Its reported 2024–2025 student-teacher ratio of 75.5 is about five times the nearby average of roughly 15.5 and far above the highest nearby figure (Hoggard at 21.2). Hoggard Mabel Elementary School enrolls 530 students — almost identical to this school — yet reports 51.6% math proficiency, 57.3% reading proficiency, and 8.2% chronic absenteeism. Nearby schools like Toland Helen Anderson International Academy also report 100% free/reduced lunch while achieving much stronger outcomes, suggesting school-level factors matter.

Academically, math proficiency fell from 32.9% in 2022–2023 to 20.2% in 2025–2026, and reading dropped from 36.8% to 25.2%. Both are well below the charter district (48.7% math, 58.0% reading) and the state (36.2% math, 45.2% reading). Chronic absenteeism is 42.2%, far above the state's 25.5% and the charter district's 17.2%; only nearby Williams Wendell Elementary School (43.3%) and Kelly Matt Elementary School (40.3%) are similarly high, and both also show low proficiency. Note that science scores and 4th/5th-grade math are suppressed for 2025–2026, meaning those subjects cannot be judged from this data — they should not be treated as failures.
