Best Public Schools in Bunkerville, NV

Bunkerville, Nevada, has exactly one school in this data set: Bowler Joseph L Elementary School, an elementary campus serving grades PK–5 with 465 students in the Clark County district. With one elementary, zero middle, zero high, and zero alternative schools reported for the area, this single school represents the entire local public-school picture. It serves a high-poverty student body—100% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch—and receives substantial resources: $18,196 per student in 2023–2024 and a 15:1 student-teacher ratio in 2024–2025, which implies roughly 31 teachers. Its district, Clark County, is rated 4 stars, ranked 5th of 12 at the 58th percentile.

Academically, the school trails its district and state on every reported 2025–2026 test. All-grade Mathematics proficiency was 28.2% versus 33.8% district and 36.2% state; all-grade Reading was 33.7% versus 43.3% district and 45.2% state. The latest year also shows decline rather than improvement: all-grade Mathematics fell 3.3 points from 31.5% and Reading fell 5.2 points from 38.9%, even as district and state figures held roughly steady or rose slightly. In 2025–2026 rankings, the school placed 293rd of 376 at the 22nd percentile with 1 star, down from 2 stars and the 35th percentile in each of the prior two years (246th of 379 in 2024–2025; 244th of 377 in 2023–2024).

Grade-level results show where the gaps are widest and narrowest. Third grade was the weakest area: Mathematics at 27.8% (district 44.8%, state 46.7%) and Reading at 26.2% (district 43.0%, state 44.4%)—gaps of roughly 17–19 percentage points. Fifth grade Reading was the relative bright spot at 42.4%, the school's highest reported result, though still about 8 points below district and 10 points below state. Fifth grade Mathematics was the lowest reported result at 21.9%. Chronic absenteeism was 27.0%, matching the district's 27.0% and above the state's 25.5%—roughly 126 students at this enrollment. School-level Science results were suppressed by the state and are unknown, so science should not be read as a weakness.
