Legacy Traditional School Cadence is a K–8 charter school in Henderson, NV, with 1,270 students, located at 325 Inflection Street and part of the State Sponsored Charter Schools district, making it the largest school in its nearby comparison group.
In 2025–2026, Legacy’s SBAC proficiency was 30% in math, 43.3% in reading, and 21.5% in science—all below Nevada’s 36.2% math, 45.2% reading, and 25.5% science averages. The school ranks in the 40th percentile with 2 stars, down from the 68th percentile in 2018–2019. Chronic absenteeism is 30.5%, above both the State Sponsored Charter Schools district (17.2%) and the state (25.5%). Its student-teacher ratio is 39.6, much higher than nearby Clark County schools, which range from 12.9 to 17.8, and per-student spending was $8,396 in 2023–2024. About 58.03% of students were eligible for free/reduced lunch in 2024–2025. Compared with nearby charters, Pinecrest Academy of Nevada Horizon and Coral Academy Eastgate had higher math and reading proficiency, while Signature Preparatory, with a similar free/reduced lunch rate, also outperformed Legacy in most reading and math grades and had a lower student-teacher ratio. Even McCaw Gordon Elementary School, a Clark County school reporting 100% free/reduced lunch, is a standout at 97th percentile with math 72.2%, reading 79%, and science 49.5%.
Legacy has bright spots: 8th grade reading 57.6% is above the State Sponsored Charter Schools district (56.2%) and state (41.6%); 8th grade science 36.8% is above the state; and 4th grade math 51.4% is above the state. But math remains a persistent weakness, hovering around 30–33% for several years, with middle-school math at 6th grade 26.8%, 7th grade 20.7%, and 8th grade 21.6%. 5th grade science is 7.9%, far below the district (24.1%) and state (17.4%). Absenteeism improved from 42.1% in 2021–2022 to 18.9% in 2024–2025, then jumped to 30.5% in 2025–2026. Key improvement areas are early literacy, middle-school math, 5th-grade science, and absenteeism.
