2 Of my children go to this school and i am grateful to have a school like this in my neighborhood . My children are receiving a great education and this is very important for their future. I know that this school will have my children prepared for college, and because of this they will have a great future ahead of them .

My child has been a student at AACPA for 4 years now and I couldn't be more pleased with the education he is receiving. Just in that short period of time he has been exposed to things I couldn't have imagined when I was his age. The teachers have all been great and my family couldn't be happier.

I have been attending AACPA since the very beginning. I have been able to veiw colleges, join programs to prepare for college and my school keeps me invovled with the community.I have just begun high school and I have all advanced classes and our 11th graders are already beginning college courses. My school is new and there is always room for improvments.

My children have been attending AACPA since the very beginning and while the school started off on the right track with wonderful teachers like Djuane and Tamera Anderson there has been a steady decline ever since. The teacher and staff turnover rate is OUT of CONTROL. Every year returning students have to start over again with new teachers and a totally new way of doing things. While, this can be a benefit on one hand, it shows no consistency in the school on the other hand. At the end of every year parents hear the same old story about how things are going to change and be different. How the new staff will deal with the unruly kids in the classroom, so that those who actually want to learn can, but that never happens. We've stuck it out with AACPA because of the promises of new things to come.

Agassi prep school itself is a good school but the changing of administrative staff year to year makes the school not so good. Every new administrative staff has they own way on how they want to change the school.

This is a great school with a caring and devoted staff. The students are fortunate to be part of a school that focuses on character development and academic achievment.

About the tests


In 2010-2011 Nevada used the Criterion Referenced Test (CRT) to test students in grades 3 through 8 in reading and math, and in grades 5 and 8 in science and writing. The CRT is a standards-based test, which means it measures specific skills defined for each grade by the state of Nevada. The goal is for all students to score at or above the state standard.
