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.
