Original Research by School Decision on Battle Born Academy
Battle Born Academy is a state-sponsored charter school in Las Vegas, serving grades kindergarten through seven. It sits on East Owens Avenue in a part of the city where housing values run well below both the Nevada state benchmark and the national one. Nearby rents are modest relative to broader state costs. The surrounding zip code has seen a slight recent dip in home values, while rents have edged upward. The thirty-year mortgage rate hovers in the mid-six range nationally, and the unemployment rate sits in the low fours, both of which shape what families in this neighborhood can stretch toward.
The school is small for its grade band, with roughly two and a half hundred students spread across eight grades. Kindergarten through third grade carries the largest share, and the middle grades hold steady. The student body is overwhelmingly Hispanic, with a smaller Black enrollment and very few students from other racial or ethnic backgrounds. A very large majority of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, making this a school serving a predominantly low-income community. Data on English learners and students with individualized education programs was not reported, so those population sizes are not something a family can evaluate from the available records.
On Nevada's state assessments, Battle Born Academy's results are low. In math, the share of tested students in grades three through eight who reached proficiency was in the low teens. In English language arts, roughly one in five tested students demonstrated proficiency. Science results were lower still, with only a small handful of students clearing the proficiency bar. Participation was strong across all three subjects. No multi-year trend data was available, so it is not possible to say from the records whether these results are improving, holding steady, or declining. A parent considering this school may want to look into the academic support structures and growth plans directly with school leadership, since the proficiency figures are low and the trend picture is blank.
Because Battle Born Academy does not serve high school grades, there is no graduation rate to report. That gap reflects the grade band, not a missing metric or a soft result. The same applies to AP, dual-credit, and career-pathway data, which were not present and would not be expected for a school ending at seventh grade. Program offerings were not available in the records, so specific curricular or extracurricular details cannot be described here. Discipline, staffing, attendance, and course-access information were also not reported, leaving a family to ask the school directly about class sizes, teacher experience, behavioral policies, and enrichment options.
The school operates under the Nevada State Public Charter School Authority. Publicly reported material from the authority indicates that the charter sector in Nevada has grown rapidly, with over twenty new charter campuses opening across the state in a recent span, including several in the Las Vegas area. At the same time, one Las Vegas K through eight charter, Eagle Charter School, closed after a single school year, which illustrates the churn that can accompany rapid expansion. Several additional charters are slated to open in the coming school year, broadening the options a family in this part of Las Vegas might weigh alongside Battle Born.
Taken together, this is a small, community-rooted charter school serving a largely Hispanic, low-income student population in a relatively affordable corner of Las Vegas. Its state assessment results are low across all tested subjects, and the absence of trend data means families cannot judge direction from the records alone. The missing program, staffing, and discipline data limits what a parent can assess without going to the school directly. For a family drawn to a charter option in this neighborhood, the questions worth asking center on what academic growth and support systems look like in practice, and how the school plans to move proficiency upward.
