Summary

Signature Preparatory is a K–8 charter school in Henderson, NV, serving 964 students in the State Sponsored Charter Schools district. In 2025–26, it ranked 144th of 376 Nevada schools (62nd percentile, 3 stars), while its district ranks 2nd of 12 in Nevada (83rd percentile, 5 stars). It has been a 3-star school since 2021–22.

Reading is its clearest strength: 54.3% proficiency, above Nevada’s 45.2%, with 4th grade at 65.0% and 5th grade at 61.6%. Math is 36.7%, near the state’s 36.2% but below the district’s 48.7%; middle-school math is weak, with 6th grade at 23.8% vs. 33.3% statewide, 7th at 22.6% vs. 32.0%, and 8th at 24.0% vs. 27.9%. Science has fallen from 30.5% in 2022–23 to 23.4% in 2025–26, below the state’s 25.5%. Same-district charters Coral Academy Eastgate and Pinecrest Academy of Nevada Horizon outperform Signature Preparatory in math, reading, and attendance, while Signature Preparatory beats Legacy Traditional School Cadence academically. Among nearby Clark County schools, Signature Preparatory’s reading is above Galloway Fay Elementary School, Hinman Edna F Elementary School, Sewell C T Elementary School, and Taylor Robert L Elementary School, but below McCaw Gordon Elementary School, Morrow Sue H Elementary School, and Newton Ulis Elementary School. Its science is above Newton Ulis Elementary School’s 14.0% but below McCaw Gordon Elementary School’s 49.5% and Morrow Sue H Elementary School’s 29.8%.

Chronic absenteeism is a major challenge at 30.1%, above the state’s 25.5% and the district’s 17.2%. It is higher than the top-performing same-district charters and lower than several nearby Clark County schools. Signature Preparatory spends far less per student ($7,852) than those nearby schools (about $14,800–$20,300) and has a higher student–teacher ratio (34.1:1) than those schools (12.9:1–17.8:1), though lower than Coral Academy Eastgate’s 41.0:1 and Legacy Traditional School Cadence’s 39.6:1. About 61.1% of students were eligible for free/reduced lunch. Overall, Signature Preparatory is a mid-performing, 3-star K–8 charter with real reading and early-grade math strengths; priorities for reaching 4–5 stars are middle-school math and attendance.
