Summary

Somerset Academy Skye Canyon is a K–8 charter school with 996 students on N. Shaumber Road in the Skye Canyon area of northwest Las Vegas, operating under Nevada's State Sponsored Charter Schools district. It is the standout performer in this comparison group: for 2025–2026 it ranks #15 of 376 Nevada elementary schools (96th percentile, 5 stars), and it has held a top-4% ranking for four consecutive years. It leads every nearby school in both math (67.2%) and reading (73.4%).

Compared with other local options, the school stands out on several fronts. The next-best nearby school, O Roarke Thomas Elementary School, ranks #37, and the closest school, Bozarth Henry & Evelyn Elementary School (about a mile away), ranks #81. Somerset also outranks Coral Academy Centennial Hills, the other K–8 charter in the same district (#39). Chronic absenteeism is the lowest in the group at 10.2%, roughly half the Clark County peer average and well under the 25.5% Nevada rate. Somerset spends $8,599 per student, far less than the $11,715–$15,399 reported by every nearby Clark County school, while its student-teacher ratio of 22.6:1 is higher than those schools' 15.0–18.2 — though it has improved from 25.5.

Parents should know that science is the relative soft spot: 53.5% proficiency overall, with grade 8 at 62% but grade 5 at just 43.2%. Math also slides from 72.8 in grade 3 to 61.2 in grade 8, while reading grows stronger in the upper grades. Because the school serves grades 6–8, its all-grades averages include middle school grades, so its edge over the PK–5 schools is if anything understated rather than inflated. Science results were suppressed by the state for Imagine School Mountain View and Thompson Sandra L Elementary School — those figures are unknown, not zero.
