Summary

West Dr. Charles I. Preparatory Academy Elementary School is a PK–5 school with 389 students at 1950 Pink Rose St. in Las Vegas (89106), part of the Clark County school district. Every student qualifies for free or reduced-price lunch, as at every nearby school. Performance peaked in 2023-2024, when the school ranked in the 59th percentile with 3 stars — its best showing since 2013-2014 — and has since slipped to the 29th percentile with 1 star in 2025-2026.

Attendance is the school's most durable strength: chronic absenteeism has stayed below both district and state levels in all five reported years, though the gap over the district narrowed from 16.7 points in 2023-2024 to 2.5 points in 2025-2026. In 2025-2026, 24.5% of students were chronically absent — 4th lowest among nine nearby schools, well behind Hoggard Mabel Elementary School (8.2%) and Toland Helen Anderson International Academy (8.6%). Math (29.1%) and reading (37.9%) proficiency trail district and state averages, but against the schools families would actually choose between nearby, reading ranks 4th of 9 and math 3rd of 8. Reading is consistently stronger than math — a stable pattern across every reported year.

Two patterns deserve watching. First, the two-year decline is largest in reading, falling from 45.7% to 37.9% while district reading stayed essentially flat — meaning the slide is the school's own, not a district-wide trend. Second, math drops sharply across grades (35.5% in 3rd grade to 23.6% in 5th), the sharpest, most actionable issue in the data. Per-student spending jumped 78% to $23,887 in 2023-2024, the same year results peaked, but results did not hold. Notably, the closest alternative, Democracy Prep at Agassi Elementary, posts lower math (20.2%) and reading (25.2%) despite belonging to the higher-ranked State Sponsored Charter Schools district. West Dr. Charles has outperformed its benchmarks before, so the current dip is a pattern to watch rather than a settled verdict.
