What stands out at Mater Mountain Vista
Mater Mountain Vista is a high-poverty, large charter combined-grade school in Las Vegas, Nevada, enrolling 1,103 students.
Class loads run heavy: 52.5:1 is larger than about 98% of Nevada schools and 156% above the 20.5:1 state mean, so each teacher carries more students than is typical.
Its free-meal eligibility rate of 91.4% lands close to the Nevada typical range, neither a high- nor low-need campus by this measure.
Enrollment of 1,103 puts it in the larger third of Nevada schools by headcount.
Its Resource Investment Index sits near the middle of the pack among 733 scored Nevada schools.
Against 124 statewide peers matched on enrollment and economic need, it ranks in the upper tier at #29.
Its student body is predominantly Hispanic or Latino (83% of enrollment), among the less diverse in the state (diversity index 30/100).
Counselor access is stretched at roughly 1103 students per counselor, well above the ASCA-recommended 250:1 ceiling.
Attendance holds up well here: only 4.4% of students were chronically absent, below the typical post-pandemic national figure.
The surrounding State-Sponsored Charter Schools spends $7,800 per pupil, 53% below the Nevada average, a leaner-resourced district than most.
Its district draws 15.7% of revenue from federal sources, an above-typical federal share that tends to track a higher-need student population.
Among Las Vegas's public schools, it stands alongside Nv Learning Academy J-Shs (3,352 students): Mater Mountain Vista is smaller than that campus by headcount and runs heavier classes (52.5:1 vs 23:1).
