Original Research by School Decision on Coral Academy Cadence
Coral Academy Cadence is a state-sponsored charter school in Henderson, Nevada, serving kindergarten through ninth grade. It sits in the Cadence master-planned community on the city's eastern edge, one of the newer residential developments that have defined Henderson's growth over recent decades. The school operates under the State Public Charter School Authority, a statewide charter authorizer that has been expanding public school choice across Nevada, opening new campuses in Las Vegas, Henderson, North Las Vegas, and Sparks. Coral Academy Cadence appears to be growing into a fuller secondary program, having added a ninth grade to what was previously an elementary-and-middle configuration.
Henderson is Nevada's second-largest city and a suburb of the Las Vegas Valley, roughly sixteen miles southeast of Las Vegas. Publicly reported sources describe it as primarily residential, organized around master-planned communities like Green Valley, Anthem, Inspirada, Lake Las Vegas, and Cadence itself. The city has attracted a more educated workforce than the broader region, with higher per-capita rates of bachelor's and master's degree holders. Major employers include the city government, Barclays, Amazon, Dignity Health, and the Las Vegas Raiders, whose headquarters and training facility are in Henderson. The built environment is car-dependent suburban development, connected by major highways, with recreational trails and parks rather than walkable street grids. Housing in the school's zip code sits above the Nevada state benchmark and well above the national benchmark, with home values and rents both showing modest year-over-year declines.
The school's enrollment is large for its grade band. Its student body is predominantly Hispanic, followed by White, Asian, and multiracial students, with smaller Black and Pacific Islander populations. Every student is reported as qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. The data does not include individualized education program rates or English learner rates, so those population shares are unknown from what was provided. A parent wanting to understand special education or English learner services would need to ask the school directly.
Academically, the most recent state assessment results paint a mixed picture with one clear bright spot. English language arts proficiency is strong, with well over half of tested students meeting state standards. That result points to a literacy program reaching most of its students effectively. Math proficiency is more modest, with fewer than half of tested students reaching proficient or above. Science proficiency sits in a range similar to math. Participation rates were solid across all three subjects. No multi-year trend data was available, so it is not possible to say from the provided data whether these results represent improvement, decline, or stability. Average scale scores were also not reported.
Because the school serves through ninth grade and does not yet graduate a senior class, there is no graduation rate to report. This is expected for the grade band the school covers. No course access, discipline, staffing, or attendance data was provided, and no civil rights data was included in what we received. Programs data was not available, so specific offerings like advanced coursework, dual credit, or extracurricular activities could not be assessed from the payload.
For a family considering Coral Academy Cadence, the strongest signal in the data is the English language arts result, which suggests a literacy program where most tested students are meeting state benchmarks. The math and science results are more middling, and a parent may want to look into how the school approaches STEM instruction and what supports are in place for students who are not yet proficient. The universal free-or-reduced-price-lunch figure indicates the school serves a community where economic need is widespread, which may shape its approach to counseling, nutrition, and academic support in ways worth asking about.
