Summary

Mater Academy East is a public charter school in Las Vegas, Nevada that serves grades PK-12 and has a student population of 2,373. While the school is part of the highly-ranked State Sponsored Charter Schools district, it faces significant challenges in serving its high-need student population.

Mater Academy East has grappled with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 16.3% to 26.6% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state average of around 20%. Additionally, the school's test scores are generally lower than the district and state averages across all grade levels and subjects. For example, in 2024-2025, only 36.8% of Mater Academy East students were proficient or better in SBAC Mathematics, compared to 49.1% for the district and 35.4% for the state. The school also has a very high student-teacher ratio, ranging from 42.8 to 50.4, which is significantly higher than the district and state averages.

Mater Academy East's performance lags behind other nearby charter schools like Coral Academy Cadence, Founders Academy of Las Vegas, and Sports Leadership and Management Academy, which have higher test scores and graduation rates. The school also underperforms compared to alternative public schools in the area like Miller John F and Stewart Helen J, which serve similar high-need student populations but have higher spending per student and lower student-teacher ratios. Addressing the key issues of chronic absenteeism, resource allocation, and staffing could be crucial for improving Mater Academy East's academic outcomes.
