These schools are part of the Clark County School District, except for the charter schools which are part of the State Sponsored Charter Schools district.
Among the standout schools in this area are Somerset Academy Sky Pointe, a public charter school for grades K-12 that has the highest overall performance on standardized tests, with 61.7% of students proficient or better in math and 65.5% proficient or better in reading. Another high-performing charter school is Coral Academy Centennial Hills, which serves grades K-8 and has 59.1% of students proficient or better in math and 71.3% proficient or better in reading. The traditional public Heckethorn Howard E Elementary also stands out with 57.1% of students proficient or better in math and 63.7% proficient or better in reading.
The data reveals that the charter schools tend to have lower student-teacher ratios and lower rates of free/reduced lunch recipients compared to the traditional public schools in the area. However, spending per student does not necessarily correlate with academic performance, as the highest-spending school, Rhodes Betsy Elementary, is not among the top performers. Overall, the analysis highlights the strong academic performance of the charter schools in the 89131 zip code, as well as the efforts of the traditional public schools to support their high-need student populations.
