proficiency (28.70%) the zone school proficiency was still higher (54.56%) and resulted in a similar difference from previous years (25.86%). The score of U remained the same, but there was evidence of academic progress. As for reading the charter proficiency was 51.10% compared to 57.95% from zone school proficiency. The result was less of a gap compared to previous years in reading (6.85%). For reading the score was assigned as AP or approaches the standard. Despite the gradual improvements BANV did receive a school NSPR rating of 3 stars. Beacon Academy of Nevada 2012-2013 saw no indicator at standard level (or AD) during the 2012-13 school year, according to the Authority Framework (2012-13) the 9-12 student population was 732. The SPCSA overall school rating was 9.38 (or U level performance), indicating unsatisfactory progress toward the standard. The 2012-13 framework pointed to MGP Reading (EL, MS, HS), MGP Math (EL, MS, HS), and GAP Math Proficiency (HS) as critical or the lowest performance level. All other indicators were at the unsatisfactory level or not meeting the standard. They were: GAP Reading Proficiency (HS), Reading Proficiency (EL, MS, HS), Math Proficiency (EL, MS, HS), Proficiency Reading Comparison (HS), Proficiency Math Comparison (HS), Graduation Rate 4-Year (HS) and Graduation Rate 5-Year (HS). Of the 44 schools and 122 students used as a comparison model (i.e., see Table 8) to Beacon Academy not one represented the unique characteristics of an online school. Rather the 44 schools and 122 students represent a random sampling of schools not online or having a large online student population. Restated, the fact there is no online school with online student users incorporated into the sampling method is directly undermining the level of expectation from an online student population interacting with an online school.
