Nevada Prep Charter School

Public, Charter Grades K-8
Summary

Nevada Prep Charter School is a K–8 charter school in Las Vegas serving 416 students as part of the State Sponsored Charter Schools district. Its most recent SchoolDigger rank was 257 of 377 (32nd percentile, 2 stars) in 2023–2024, up from 305 of 384 (21st percentile, 1 star) the year before. In 2025–2026, all-grade SBAC proficiency was 14.1% in math, 21.0% in reading, and 14.9% in science — well below state averages of 36.2% math, 45.2% reading, and 25.5% science, and far below its own district's 48.7%, 58.0%, and 34.9%. Chronic absenteeism was 42.2%.

Compared with 10 nearby schools, Nevada Prep sits in the bottom cluster. Its math proficiency is lower than every nearby school except King Junior Martin Luther Elementary School (13.2%). Top nearby performers Miller Sandy Searles Elementary School, Heard Lomie G Elementary School, and Brookman Eileen B Elementary School post math scores of 45.5%–48.0% and reading scores of 48.5%–58.9%. Its closest neighbor, Mountain View Elementary School (0.14 miles away), outperforms it on nearly every metric: math 28.7% vs. 14.1%, reading 31.9% vs. 21.0%, chronic absenteeism 18.2% vs. 42.2%, student-teacher ratio 16.8 vs. 37.8, and per-student spending $23,424 vs. $10,147. Nevada Prep's 2024–2025 student-teacher ratio of 37.8 is more than double the nearby average of 17.4, and its $10,147 per-student spending is the lowest in the comparison group. Its 42.2% chronic absenteeism is the highest nearby — and up sharply from 19.3% in 2021–2022, while state rates fell from 36.0% to 25.5%.

Every nearby school also reports 100% free/reduced lunch, so economic context does not explain the differences; the comparison schools are in Clark County. Proficiency has declined since 2022–2023 (math 23.8% to 14.1%; reading 32.1% to 21.0%). The middle grades are a particular concern: 7th-grade math was 10.8% and 8th-grade reading 30.8%, both below state and district averages. Some grade-level scores are suppressed ("—") to protect student privacy and should be treated as unknown, not as zero. Also note that the district-level 5-star rating masks large school-level differences.
