Summary

Pinecrest Academy of Nevada Inspirada is a K–8 charter school in Henderson, Nevada, serving 1,193 students as part of the State Sponsored Charter Schools district. It is the largest school in its local comparison group and one of the highest-rated in the state: for 2025–2026 it ranks #6 of 376 Nevada elementary schools — the 98th percentile — with a 5-star rating, and its district ranks #2 of 12 statewide. Before this year, the school held the #1 spot in Nevada for four consecutive years, from 2021–2022 through 2024–2025.

Academically, 83.3% of students are proficient in math, 85.2% in reading, and 58.2% in science — well above Nevada averages. Among nearby schools, only Pinecrest Academy of Nevada St Rose comes close, at 69.9% math, 79.9% reading, and 57.8% science. The strongest Clark County nearby schools trail further: Wolff Elise L Elementary School at 68.6% math and 78.2% reading, and Lamping Frank Elementary School at 63.4% and 70.2%. The closest schools score far lower — Wallin Shirley & Bill Elementary School (59.2% math, 67.6% reading) and Ellis Robert & Sandy Elementary School (54.9%, 64.8%). Chronic absenteeism is 7.3%, versus 25.5% statewide and 15.4%–30.4% at nearby Clark County schools.

Grade-level results show both strengths and one soft spot. Reading is remarkably even across grades 3–8, ranging only from 82.9% to 87.1%. Math peaks at 93.1% in 3rd grade and 85.6% in 8th grade but dips to 75.1% in 6th. Science splits sharply: 8th grade is 77.6% while 5th grade is 39.5%, making upper-grade science a strength and 5th-grade science the clearest opportunity. The school achieves this with a student–teacher ratio of 21.9 and per-pupil spending of $8,150 — larger classes and less money than nearby Clark County schools such as Taylor Glen C Elementary School ($15,841), Barber Shirley A Elementary School ($15,442), and Bass John C Elementary School ($15,815). The recent slip from #1 to #6 is worth watching, but it reflects a science dip rather than a broad decline.
