Summary

Sewell C T Elementary School is a PK–5 school in Henderson, Nevada, serving 570 students as part of the Clark County School District, with 100% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in recent years. In 2025–26 it ranked 319th of 376 Nevada elementary schools (15th percentile, 1 star), well below its district, which ranks 5th of 12 statewide (58th percentile, 4 stars).

In 2025–26, 23.5% of Sewell students were proficient in math and 30.4% in reading — below district rates (33.8% and 43.3%) and state rates (36.2% and 45.2%). Science results were suppressed by the state and cannot be evaluated. Among nearby same-district schools, only Hinman Edna F Elementary School and Taylor Robert L Elementary School scored lower, while McCaw Gordon Elementary School (72.2% math, 79.0% reading), Morrow Sue H Elementary School, Stevens Josh Elementary School, and Newton Ulis Elementary School all substantially outperformed it. Nearby charters such as Coral Academy Eastgate and Pinecrest Academy of Nevada Horizon post much higher proficiency, though they serve far fewer low-income students, so comparisons are less direct.

Chronic absenteeism was 30.9%, above district (27.0%) and state (25.5%) averages, but down sharply from 43.9% in 2021–22. Sewell spends $19,991 per student (2023–24), a 63.6% increase since 2020–21 and more than higher-performing McCaw, Morrow, Newton, and Stevens — though high-need students can require more resources. Fourth grade is a clear weak spot (15.8% math, 18.0% reading), and the school has slid from the top 8% of Nevada elementary schools in 2015–16 to the bottom 15% today.
