Summary
Democracy Prep at Agassi Middle is a grades 6–8 charter middle school in Las Vegas, Nevada, serving 362 students as part of the State Sponsored Charter Schools district, which is rated 2nd of 12 districts in Nevada, but the campus itself sits mid-pack: 88th of 148 middle schools, 41st percentile, 2 stars in 2025–2026 — up from the 30th and 28th percentile in the two prior years.
Math is the school's strongest academic signal. In 2025–2026, 29.8% of students were proficient in math — below the state's 36.2% but well above the nearby-school average of about 20.2%, and ahead of most surrounding Clark County middle schools, including Swainston Theron L Middle School (11.7%), Martin Roy W Middle School (12.4%), Von Tobel Educational Middle School (11.7%), Sedway Marvin M Middle School (10.3%), Smith J D Middle School (11.1%), and Gibson Robert O Middle School Leadership Academy (17.7%). Math proficiency has also climbed sharply, from 13.3% in 2023–2024 to 29.8% in 2025–2026. Reading, at 32.9%, is close to the nearby average and above the nearby median, but has stayed flat in the low-to-mid 30s. It hides a big grade-level split: 8th-grade reading (45.2%) beats the state and most nearby schools, while 6th grade (27.0%) and 7th grade (28.9%) lag. Science results for 2025–2026 were suppressed by the state, so that subject is unknown for the year.
Attendance is the clearest weakness. Chronic absenteeism has dropped from 53.9% in 2021–2022 to 34.8% in 2025–2026, a 19.1-point improvement, but it remains above the state rate of 25.5%, well above the district's 17.2%, and above the nearby average — only Martin Roy W Middle School (36.9%), Smith J D Middle School (37.1%), and Sedway Marvin M Middle School (39.5%) were higher. The school also reports a student-teacher ratio of 40.2, roughly double the nearby average of about 20.9, and per-pupil spending of $9,543, about $4,193 below the nearby Clark County average. Overall, Democracy Prep outperforms most surrounding middle schools in math and state ranking but trails Hyde Park Middle School, Mackey Jo Middle School, and Fremont John C Professional Dev Middle School.
