Summary

Bennett William G Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Laughlin, Nevada, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 365 students. The school is part of the Clark County School District, which is ranked 5 out of 12 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite being part of a relatively well-performing district, Bennett William G Elementary School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Nevada elementary schools, with a 2-star rating for most years and dropping to a 1-star rating in recent years. The school's performance has been stagnant, with significantly lower academic proficiency compared to the Clark County and Nevada state averages. Additionally, the school has experienced high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 25.6% to 31.3% in recent years, which is notably higher than the state and district averages.

The school's student population is diverse, with a significant proportion of Hispanic and White students, as well as a relatively even gender distribution. However, the school has a high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with 100% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in recent years. This suggests that the school may face significant socioeconomic challenges that could impact student learning and achievement. The school's per-student spending has increased over the years, but the persistent underperformance indicates that the school may need to re-evaluate its resource utilization and explore more effective strategies to support student learning and achievement.
