Summary

Democracy Prep at Agassi Middle is a public charter middle school in Las Vegas, Nevada, serving 389 students in grades 6-8. 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.

While the school is part of a highly-ranked district, it faces significant challenges. Democracy Prep at Agassi Middle has consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 16.3% to 40.7% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state average and the average for the district. Academically, the school consistently performs below the state and district averages in mathematics, reading, and science. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 18.9% of students were proficient or better in mathematics, compared to 49.1% for the State Sponsored Charter Schools district and 35.4% for the state.

Interestingly, the nearby schools, such as Swainston Theron L Middle School, Hyde Park Middle School, and Mackey Jo Middle School, generally perform better than Democracy Prep at Agassi Middle in academic measures, with higher proficiency rates and lower chronic absenteeism rates. Some of these nearby schools are also magnet or specialized schools, which may contribute to their stronger academic outcomes. Despite the high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch at Democracy Prep at Agassi Middle, the school's spending per student is lower than some of the nearby schools, which may impact its ability to provide resources and support for its students.
