Summary

Coral Academy Nellis AFB is a PK–8 state-sponsored charter school in Las Vegas, Nevada, serving 902 students in the State Sponsored Charter Schools district, a few miles from nine Clark County PK–5 elementary schools.

Academically, Coral is the clear standout among those neighbors. In 2025–26, 42.1% of its students were proficient in math and 54.4% in reading — above Nevada's 36.2% and 45.2%, and well above the nearby range of 12.0%–34.0% in math and 16.5%–40.5% in reading. The best nearby school, Dickens D L Dusty Elementary School, reached 34.0% in math and 40.5% in reading; other nearby Clark County schools ranked between the 0th and 35th state percentile, while Coral placed 62nd. Reading is especially strong in grades 6–8, and 8th-grade science (47.8%) beats both the charter district and the state. Still, Coral trails its own charter district averages (48.7% math, 58.0% reading), making it a strong school within a high-performing charter sector rather than its top performer.

Attendance is Coral's biggest differentiator: 9.6% of students were chronically absent in 2025–26, down from 21.6% three years earlier, compared with 24.5%–45.6% at nearby schools, 25.5% statewide, and 17.2% in its own district. Manch J E Elementary School and Lowman Mary & Zel Elementary School, the closest campuses, each exceed 44%. Coral also reports a 35.03% free/reduced-lunch rate while every nearby school reports 100%, spends less per student ($12,589 vs. $14,289–$19,141), and has the group's largest student–teacher ratio (28.1). Those differences — plus Coral's middle grades, which PK–5 neighbors lack — mean comparisons are not perfectly apples-to-apples.
