School choice
The solutions Nevada needs are right next door
Educational choice brings many benefits in its wake.
A comparison between Nevada and neighboring Arizona reveals the solutions the Silver State needs to meet its most pressing challenges in education.
Quality & Quantity
Nevada's Educational Challenges
By embracing school choice, Nevada can duplicate the success of neighboring Arizona in addressing the biggest challenges facing K-12 education.
Aristocracy in Nevada
The educational elites suppress the will of the people.
Increasingly, the actions of those who govern reflect the will of a small but influential group of special interests, rather than the will of the governed. One won't find a more egregious example of this than the public education system, nor a place where the consequences for education have been more disastrous than in Nevada.
Democrats want school choice, too
Support for educational freedom transcends party lines.
Little doubt remains here in the Silver State that the education system is broken and in dire need of significant reform. The lackluster performance of the state's public school system is something Nevadans of all political persuasions recognize, as thousands of students graduate from high school each year without the basic skills needed to be successful either in college or in the work force.
Nevada's education vanguard
We must expand, not restrict, the development of charter schools in Nevada.
It's time to bring public charter schools to the forefront of Nevada education. Battle-worn and born of hardy pioneering stock, many of Nevada's chartered public schools are emerging as successful, avant-garde educational models.
Nevada's Opinion on K-12 Education and School Choice
Where does Nevada stand on school choice and other K-12 education issues? At least one thing is clear: Nevadans would like a K-12 school choice system that offers opportunity and access to a range of schooling options.
Little Oliver asks for more
Nevadans press for more charter schools, and the board of beadles blanches in fear.
Have you ever wondered why government seems so utterly, repeatedly failure-prone when it comes to meeting the education needs of Nevada kids?
United against choice
Opponents of school choice continue to march in lockstep.
While recognition is growing that greater school choice is badly needed in Nevada and across the country, the National Education Association, at its annual meeting in Philadelphia this summer, hardened its position against charter schools and school choice.
Back to school
What are the charter choices in Nevada?
What choices are available to parents and students in Nevada who are considering the charter school option? What can you do if you don’t like the menu at the geographically mandated government educational cafeteria? Unfortunately, Nevadans have few alternatives.
A success in any language
The Mariposa Academy is a hit among Hispanic students.
Trying to be everything to everybody is a sure recipe for failure. Yet, to maintain its education monopoly, that’s what the Nevada public school system attempts to do.
