District-Level NCES Analysis

STATE-SPONSORED CHARTER SCHOOLS operates 79 public schools serving 59,670 students, placing it among the larger districts in Nevada. The school portfolio breaks down into 43 elementary, 21 other, 13 high, 2 middle schools, giving families a clear picture of grade-band coverage before they move, rent, or enrol. Aggregated across those campuses, enrollment totals 63,135 pupils using the NCES Common Core of Data (CCD) 2022-23 release, and the district is geographically located in Carson City County.

Per-pupil expenditure runs $8,822 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, which aggregates every revenue and spending line reported under federal accounting standards. The funding mix is 2.6% local, 81.7% state, and 15.7% federal — a breakdown that matters because districts leaning heavily on local revenue are more exposed to property-tax swings, while higher federal shares typically track Title I concentration. The district's equity score — 28/100, ranked #17 of 17 in Nevada against a state average of 53 — measures how evenly funding reaches schools within its boundaries.

Academic infrastructure includes 13 of 79 schools offering Advanced Placement (107 AP courses district-wide), a 651.2:1 student-counselor ratio, above the 250:1 ASCA recommendation, and 23.2% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 41.3% Hispanic or Latino, 26.5% White, 14.1% African American across the district's schools.

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 — high (typically associated with staffing constraints that limit per-student counselor time; CRDC data shows higher ratios cluster in larger urban systems)

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 Higher values may reflect larger urban scale or recent resource constraints that have widened the gap.

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.
