Summary

Doral Academy of Northern Nevada is a K–8 charter school in Reno, Nevada, serving 996 students as part of the State Sponsored Charter Schools district. It ranked 14th of 376 Nevada schools in 2025–2026 — the 96th percentile — earning 5 stars, while its district ranks 2nd of 12 statewide (83rd percentile, 5 stars). The school has been in the top 15 statewide since 2021–2022 and peaked at 5th of 377 in 2023–2024.

All-grade SBAC proficiency in 2025–2026 was 70% in math, 70.9% in reading, and 52.4% in science — all well above district and state averages, with state rates at 36.2 in math and 45.2 in reading. Science is a particular strength, second among nearby schools only to Ted Hunsberger Elementary (53.9). Doral outperforms most nearby Washoe County schools, including Elizabeth Lenz Elementary and Pleasant Valley Elementary (both 94th percentile), Jwood Raw Elementary School (89th), Nick Poulakidas Elementary School (88th), Brown Elementary (84th), Coral Academy Elementary-South (78th), Double Diamond Elementary (62nd), Huffaker Elementary (44th), and Smithridge S.T.E.M. Academy (41st). Only Ted Hunsberger ranks higher, at the 99th percentile.

Two context points matter. Doral achieves these results with $7,531 per-student spending — lower than most nearby schools, which spend $11,768 to $15,109 — and a student-teacher ratio of 23.9, higher than most nearby schools' 15.7 to 20.6. Chronic absenteeism is 8.6%, about half the district rate and a third of the state rate. In grades 3–5, the fairest comparison, Doral's 4th- and 5th-grade math (83.6 and 75.0) lead nearby schools, while reading trails Ted Hunsberger, Lenz, and sometimes Pleasant Valley. Math proficiency slips from 83.6 in 4th grade to 59.5 in 8th, and reading and science have dipped from recent peaks, though all remain above district and state averages. Nearby schools serve K–5 or PK–5 while Doral is K–8, so all-grade averages aren't perfectly comparable.

This is not a school that I would recommend. The staff turnover is huge and there is a reason for it. Close Quote

My grandchildren attend Doral Academy of Northern Nevada and I volunteer there. It is a WONDERFUL school. When I wait for the kids after school, it is so much fun to see all of the smiling, happy kids coming out at the end of the day. It is a very positive environment for learning with lots of parental involvement and support. All the faculty and staff without exception are excellent. Close Quote

This is one of the best schools in Northern NV. My child is very happy here and has been to several schools including a very prestigious private school. Doral blows these schools out of the water in terms of social emotional learning. The school administration and staff are top notch at Doral. They really care about each child and try to accommodate them as best as they can. I highly recommend this school. Close Quote
