Summary

Bartlett Selma F Elementary School is a PK–5 school in Henderson, Nevada, serving 495 students as part of the Clark County School District. In 2025–2026, SchoolDigger ranked it 116th of 376 Nevada elementary schools — the 69th percentile, with 3 stars — down from 94th of 379 and 4 stars the year before. It was a top-decile school from 2015–2016 through 2017–2018, earning 5 stars, so this is a step down from its former standing. It serves a high-poverty population, with 100% free/reduced lunch eligibility in 2024–2025, and chronic absenteeism has improved sharply, from 30.1% in 2021–2022 to 15.3% in 2025–2026.

Academically, Bartlett is above both district and state averages in all three tested subjects in 2025–2026: mathematics 47.6% (versus 33.8% district and 36.2% state), reading 54.0% (versus 43.3% and 45.2%), and science 29.8% (versus 23.5% and 25.5%). Results vary by grade. Third-grade math, at 43.5%, is slightly below district and state, while fourth grade (55.5%) and fifth grade (44.8%) are above. Reading is above district and state at every grade, with fifth grade reaching 64.3%. Fifth-grade science, 29.8%, is well above the district's 15.8% and the state's 17.4%.

Compared with nearby Henderson schools, Bartlett lands mid-pack academically: among nine comparable nearby schools it ranks around 9th of 10 in math, 8th of 10 in reading, and 5th of 9 with available science data. Its attendance is comparatively strong, with the 4th-lowest chronic absenteeism in that group. Its two closest neighbors are also its highest-scoring ones — Vanderburg John Elementary School (0.4 miles away, 93rd percentile, 5 stars) and Twitchell Neil C Elementary School (0.5 miles away, 95th percentile, 5 stars) both outscore it substantially in math, reading, and science. Somerset Academy Stephanie posts higher all-grade math and reading, though its fifth-grade science (25.0) is lower than Bartlett's 29.8. Spending and class size do not explain the local gap: Bartlett spends $15,127 per student, near the nearby average of about $15,858, with a 15.4 student-teacher ratio, while Twitchell ($14,816) and Vanderburg ($15,186) spend similar amounts and Somerset ($9,680) far less.

Open Quote I am a prior student, now in medical school, and can recall how Bartlett set me up for any career I had hoped for. Thanks to Bartlett, I received the most important fundamentals for learning. Close Quote

Open Quote My son is in Kindergarten at Selma Bartlett, and I don't think he has learned anything thus far. His teacher is absent almost once a week and they are constantly watching movies or playing - it's basically daycare. My son actually asked the teacher for more work and she told him no. We plan on leaving the school next year. Close Quote

Open Quote Most teachers do not give homework to students. The education is limited and minimal, lowest standards I have ever seen. Teachers have a lack of interest. Close Quote

Open Quote The teachers at this school are absolutely amazing. They bend over backwards to make sure that their students succeed. They even stay after school and tutor those that may need a little extra help with their homework. Mrs. Gregory deserves a Golden Apple Award. FYI (It is an actual award that we gave teacher in Illinois for exceptional work becoming of a teacher.) Keep up the excellent work Bartlett teachers. Close Quote
