Summary
Legacy Traditional School North Valley is a K–8 charter school in North Las Vegas, Nevada, serving 1,305 students in the State Sponsored Charter Schools district, which makes it one of the largest schools in its immediate area. Although its district is highly rated overall (rank 2 of 12, 5 stars), the school itself ranked 206 of 376 in 2025–2026, placing it at the 45th percentile with 2 stars — a standing it has held for several years.
Academically, results are mixed. Reading proficiency was 45.5%, just above the state's 45.2%, and early-grade reading is a relative strength (3rd grade 50.6%, 8th grade 53.8%). Math is the clearest weakness at 27.7%, below the state's 36.2% and far below the district's 48.7%. Middle-school math is especially low: 5th grade 23.4%, 6th grade 16.7%, and 7th grade 15.7%. Science came in at 23.7%, below the state's 25.5%, with 5th-grade science at just 13.8%. Notably, Somerset Academy Aliante, a K–8 charter in the same district, earned 4 stars with 56.6% math and 65.0% reading.
Several operational differences stand out. Legacy's student-to-teacher ratio is 43.5, more than double some nearby Clark County schools (14.2–21.5) and well above Somerset's 28.1; it has worsened over three years. Per-student spending was $8,248, roughly half of nearby Clark schools ($14,112–$18,270). Chronic absenteeism was 25.5% — equal to the state but 8.3 points above its own district and far above Somerset's 9.7%. Its free/reduced-lunch rate is 58.31%, while nearby Clark schools report 100%, yet May Ernest Elementary School (100% FRL) still outperformed Legacy in math and reading, which makes the math results hard to explain by student need alone.
