Summary

Herron Fay Elementary School is a public elementary school located in North Las Vegas, Nevada, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 573 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.

Herron Fay Elementary School has seen fluctuations in its academic performance, with its statewide ranking ranging from 77 out of 388 schools in 2018-2019 (4-star rating) to 275 out of 379 schools in 2024-2025 (1-star rating). In the 2024-2025 school year, the school's proficiency rates in SBAC Mathematics and Reading for all grades were 31.9% and 31.8%, respectively, which are lower than the Clark County and Nevada state averages. However, the school's performance varies across grade levels, with 3rd and 4th grades generally performing better than 5th grade. Herron Fay also has a high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with 100% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.

Compared to nearby schools, Herron Fay Elementary School performs better than some, such as Williams Tom Elementary, Lincoln Elementary, and Jeffers Jay W Elementary, in both Mathematics and Reading proficiency rates. However, it lags behind the performance of Tate Myrtle Elementary, Cahlan Marion Elementary, and the high-performing Bracken Walter Elementary (a magnet school) in the surrounding area. The school's increased per-student spending and lower student-teacher ratio may be contributing factors to its relatively better performance compared to some of its immediate neighbors.
