Summary

Hewetson Halle Elementary School is a PK–5 school in Las Vegas, NV, serving 574 students in the Clark County School District, with 100% of students eligible for free/reduced lunch and per-pupil spending of $14,007 in 2023–2024. In 2025–2026, the school ranked 345 of 376 Nevada schools (8th percentile, 0 stars), even though the district itself ranked 5 of 12 in Nevada (58th percentile, 4 stars). Test scores remain below district and state averages: 20.2% of students were proficient in math and 29.3% in reading, compared with district rates of 33.8% and 43.3% and state rates of 36.2% and 45.2%. Science proficiency was suppressed by the state, so it cannot be evaluated here.

One relative bright spot is attendance. Hewetson’s chronic absenteeism was 22.3% in 2025–2026, below the district (27.0%) and state (25.5%), and better than every nearby same-district school except Bracken Walter Elementary School (8.4%). It improved from 45.1% in 2021–2022 to 15.7% in 2024–2025, then rose to 22.3%. Reading has also improved more than math: from 2022–2023 to 2025–2026, reading rose from 17.6% to 29.3%, while math rose from 11.1% to 20.2%. Math is still the clearer weakness and slipped slightly from 20.7% in 2024–2025 to 20.2% in 2025–2026. By grade, reading rises from 26.1% in 3rd to 27.1% in 4th and 34.8% in 5th, while math stays relatively flat at 20.2%, 19.4%, and 21.3%.

Bracken Walter Elementary School is a striking nearby comparison: it serves a similarly high-poverty population, spends only slightly more ($14,568 vs. $14,007), and has a lower student–teacher ratio (16.0 vs. 17.9), yet its 2025–2026 proficiency is much higher (54% math, 60.5% reading, 34% science) and its absenteeism is far lower. Strong Start Academy, a nearby charter, also posts much stronger results: 65.9% math, 81.9% reading, 12.9% absenteeism, and $23,669 per student, ranking 28 of 376 (93rd percentile, 5 stars). Hewetson’s student–teacher ratio is higher than most nearby schools, and its spending is among the lowest in the comparison group. Overall, Hewetson shows real progress in attendance and reading, but it remains low-performing relative to district, state, and nearby benchmarks, with math and statewide rank as major challenges.
