Summary:
Zip code 89011 in Henderson, Nevada contains six schools enrolling 6,598 students: four elementary schools and two alternative schools, some of which span middle and high grades, divided between the State Sponsored Charter Schools and Clark County districts. Enrollment is heavily concentrated in the two alternative schools — Sports Leadership and Management Academy (1,898 students) and Coral Academy Cadence (1,673) — which together account for 3,571 students, or 54% of the area's total. The largest elementary is Legacy Traditional School Cadence at 1,270 students, while Hinman Edna F Elementary School is the smallest at 363.
Academically, Coral Academy Eastgate leads the area: 58.2% proficient in math and 62.9% in reading, both the highest here and well above state (36.2% math, 45.2% reading). Stevens Josh Elementary School is the strongest Clark County school, posting 51.8% math and 61.6% reading, and improved from the 67th to the 77th percentile. Coral Academy Cadence is strong in reading (59.4%), science (34.8%), attendance (15.2% chronically absent, the lowest in the area), and 11th-grade ACT results (45% math, 77.5% English). Legacy Traditional School Cadence falls below state in math, reading, and science, and Hinman has the lowest results (19.8% math, 25.4% reading) and the highest chronic absenteeism (31.2%).
Some common assumptions do not hold neatly here. Hinman has the highest per-student spending ($20,125) and lowest student/teacher ratio (12.9) yet the lowest proficiency, while Coral Academy Eastgate has the highest ratio (41.0) and the top scores. Chronic absenteeism ranges from 15.2% to 31.2%, averaging about 24.5%, but Stevens shows high proficiency despite 29.4% absenteeism. Three schools report 100% free/reduced lunch with very different outcomes. Note that a "—" means the state suppressed a value for privacy — it is unknown, not zero — which limits comparisons for Hinman's science and some grade-level results.
