Summary

Somerset Academy North Las Vegas is a K–5 charter school serving 764 students at 385 W. Centennial Parkway in North Las Vegas, operating under the State Sponsored Charter Schools district rather than Clark County. In 2025–26 it ranked 104th of 376 Nevada elementary schools — the 72nd percentile, four stars — the strongest showing of any school in this comparison set. Proficiency is 51.9% in math and 58.6% in reading, above both district and state averages, but only 19.5% in science.

That standing reflects a genuine turnaround. For six straight years the school sat between the 37th and 48th percentile with two stars, then jumped 25 percentile points in a single year and held the gain, adding a fourth star. It now outperforms every nearby Clark County school, including Duncan Ruby Elementary School (0.44 miles away) and Hayden Don E Elementary School (0.5 miles), where proficiency is roughly half as high in both subjects. It achieves this while spending $8,868 per student — far less than the $13,511–$18,410 spent by nearby Clark County schools — and with 29.3 students per teacher versus 14.3–19.7 at those schools.

The remaining weak spots are specific. Fifth-grade math sits at 33.5%, below both district and state and a 30.8-point drop from fourth grade, and science proficiency has never exceeded 24.4%. Chronic absenteeism has improved 12.7 points to 21.2%, now better than the state's 25.5%, but it remains above the charter district and well above Freedom Classical Academy K-8 at 13.4%, the lowest in the set. Parents should also know the 100% free/reduced-lunch figure for 2024–25 reflects a program change rather than a shift in the student body, since every nearby Clark County school reports the same number.
