My school is located in suburban North Las Vegas surrounded by the fifth largest school district in the country with one of the lowest per pupil expenditures in the country. My school is a K-8 public charter school. Students must apply to attend, but we have more students who apply than we are able to accept because of limited space. As a public charter school, however, we do not pick and choose our students based on ability level or socio-economic status; from those who apply, we blindly select our students. Our students are motivated to succeed because they have applied to be in our programs, but they are not traditionally defined as privileged. Our school day is an hour longer than other schools', and students appreciate the opportunity to fill that hour with additional electives and activities. We are devoted to developing students who are college and career ready as well as well-rounded citizens.
