That figure sits 126% above the Nevada state mean of 22.6:1, signalling larger average class loads than peers in the same state. Against the national 2024-25 average of 15.9:1, it is 221% higher, a useful calibration for families comparing districts across state lines.
Title I and federal lunch eligibility offer another window into the student body: 91.4% of pupils qualify for free meals, a proxy for household income that federal programs use to direct funding. The free-lunch share is 19% above the Nevada average and 76% above the national baseline. Counselor coverage works out to roughly 1103 students per counselor, above the ASCA-recommended ceiling of 250:1. Chronic absenteeism — missing 10% or more of school days — stands at 4.4% according to the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection.
On the finance side, the surrounding State-Sponsored Charter Schools spends $8,822 per pupil district-wide, below the Nevada average of $18,421 and below the national average of $19,490.
