The top reported proficiency rate is 75% in English language arts. The lowest is 56% in Science.
Original Research by School Decision on Coral Academy Centennial Hills
Coral Academy Centennial Hills is a state-sponsored charter school serving kindergarten through eighth grade in the Centennial Hills area of northwest Las Vegas. As a charter, it operates under the Nevada State Public Charter School Authority rather than a traditional local school district, and families choose it through an application and enrollment process rather than by geographic assignment. The school sits in a growing residential part of the Las Vegas metropolitan area where home values run well above the state and national benchmarks, with typical rents that have eased slightly in recent months. The housing market here is more expensive than much of Nevada, which shapes who lives nearby and who can reasonably access the school without a long commute.
Academically, the school posts strong proficiency results across the board. In English language arts, a clear majority of tested students in grades three through eight meet or exceed proficiency, and the share is even higher than the school's already solid math result. Science proficiency, measured in the grade band where the state assesses it, lands above the halfway mark as well, though it trails the school's own reading and math numbers. Participation rates are high across all three subjects. These results place Coral Academy among the stronger-performing public schools in the state on standard assessments, and a parent reviewing this profile can take the academic results as a genuine strength. The state did not report average scale scores, so there is no deeper look at how far above the proficiency cut students are scoring. Multi-year trend data was not available, so it is not possible to say from the provided data whether these results are improving, stable, or declining over time.
The student body is moderate in size for a K-8 charter and reflects a fairly diverse mix. White students make up the largest single group, followed closely by Hispanic students, with smaller Asian, Black, multiracial, and Native Hawaiian or Pacific Islander populations. About a third of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, which is below the statewide average for Nevada public schools and suggests a moderately affluent enrollment compared to many urban campuses. Data on students with individualized education programs and English learners was not reported, so it is not possible to characterize the level of specialized support or the size of those populations here. A parent whose child receives special education services or English language support may want to ask the school directly about those programs and staffing.
The school's grade band means there is no graduation rate to report, and no high school course access data such as AP or dual credit offerings. Those metrics simply do not apply to a K-8 school. Program offerings beyond the standard curriculum were not provided in the available data, so families interested in extracurriculars, arts, STEM enrichment, or before- and after-school care should consult the school's website or contact the front office. Information on staffing ratios, teacher credentials, discipline data, and attendance was also absent from the payload.
The broader charter landscape in Nevada has been shifting. The State Public Charter School Authority has opened a substantial number of new campuses across the state in recent years, including several in the Las Vegas area, expanding the range of public school options available to families. At least one Las Vegas K-8 charter closed after a single year, a reminder that newer charter campuses can carry operational risk. Additional charter schools are scheduled to open in the coming school year in Las Vegas and Elko. For a family considering Coral Academy Centennial Hills, the academic results are the strongest signal in this profile: a school where most tested students are reaching proficiency in core subjects, situated in an affluent northwest Las Vegas neighborhood with housing costs to match.
