Summary

Harmon Harley Elementary School is a PK–5 school in Las Vegas, NV, serving 629 students in the Clark County School District; it is larger than most nearby same-district elementaries. Clark County is ranked 5th of 12 in Nevada (58th percentile, 4 stars), while Harmon ranked 233rd of 376 Nevada elementary schools in 2025–26, at the 38th percentile with 2 stars—up from 19th percentile and 1 star in 2021–22. It serves a very high-poverty population (100% free/reduced lunch in recent years). In 2025–26, proficiency was 32.5% Math and 40.9% Reading, below district and state averages; Science was suppressed.

Harmon’s 8.3 student-teacher ratio is the lowest nearby by a wide margin; the next lowest same-district peer is Whitney Elementary School at 13.2, and nearby district schools range from 13.2 to 18.7, while charters are 21.2 and 23.7. Chronic absenteeism is 23.1%, below the district’s 27.0% and state’s 25.5%, and better than most nearby schools; only Ferron William E Elementary School (14.6%) and Treem Harriet Elementary School (22.0%) are lower. In achievement, Harmon is middle-of-the-pack: Math (32.5%) is similar to Tomiyasu Bill Y Elementary School (32.5%) and above Cunningham Cynthia Elementary School (28.7%), Whitney Elementary School (24.7%), and Silver Sands Montessori (26.3%), but below Ferron (38.8%), Treem (41.8%), and Discovery Charter School Sandhill (44.4%). Reading (40.9%) follows a similar pattern. Spending is $17,427 per student, mid-to-high nearby.

Harmon is improving: from 2021–22 to 2025–26, its rank percentile rose from 19 to 38, absenteeism fell from 40.1% to 23.1%, Math rose from 20.8% to 32.5%, and Reading rose from 27.2% to 40.9%. A bright spot is 3rd grade, where Math is 46.2% and Reading is 48.3%, above district and state averages, while 4th and 5th grades lag behind—4th Math is 28.7% vs. district 40.8% and state 43.4%, and 5th Reading is 44.3% vs. 50.7% and 52.7%. Despite the low student-teacher ratio and mid-high spending, overall proficiency remains below district/state and below nearby schools, such as Treem and Ferron, which post higher Math and Reading. Science and subgroup data are limited, so updated data would help; attendance gains are worth building on.
