See how Nevada compares in our national per-pupil spending analysis. The funding mix is 2.6% local, 81.7% state, and 15.7% federal, a state-revenue-heavy mix that insulates the district somewhat from local property-tax volatility, though it ties funding to state budget cycles. The district's equity score is 25/100, ranked #16 of 17 in Nevada against a state average of 53, notably less even than the typical district in the state for how evenly funding reaches its schools.

State-Sponsored Charter Schools school enrollment varies 208× across entities
State-Sponsored Charter Schools school enrollment ranges from 12 students (lowest) to 2,492 students (highest), a spread of 2,480 students. That ratio is an extreme outlier spread — among the widest gaps observed anywhere in this dataset. Per-school staffing ratios, programme availability, and capital-renovation cycles often diverge inside the same district based on enrollment shape.
State-Sponsored Charter Schools student-counselor ratio is 651:1 — well above typical (typically associated with unusually large scale or acute resource constraints)
student-counselor ratio is the simplest comparative metric but it does not capture the full picture: the ratio counts FTE counselors against total enrollment, districts that contract intervention or social-emotional staff outside the counselor classification may be under-counted Values this far above typical often signal acute resource constraints or a structurally different scale than most peers — worth reading alongside the underlying counts, not the ratio alone.
State-Sponsored Charter Schools chronic absenteeism rate is 23.2% — near the typical range (US average ~28) — aligned with the national post-pandemic baseline of roughly 28% chronic absenteeism
chronic absenteeism rate is the simplest comparative metric but it does not capture the full picture: a student is chronically absent if they miss ≥10% of enrolled days for any reason, illness, family obligations, or disengagement Variation between sub-units within State-Sponsored Charter Schools is typically wider than the State-Sponsored Charter Schools-aggregate figure suggests.
