Summary

Earl Ira J Elementary School is a PK–5 school in Las Vegas, NV, serving 586 students as part of the Clark County School District in a high-poverty community where 100% of students were eligible for free or reduced lunch in recent years. Its statewide rank history is consistently at or near the bottom of Nevada schools: in 2025–26 it ranked 371st of 376, in the 1st percentile with 0 stars. Its 2025–26 test scores are far below district and state averages: math was 16.6% (vs. 33.8% Clark County and 36.2% Nevada), and reading was 19.1% (vs. 43.3% district and 45.2% state). Science results were suppressed by the state, so they are unknown.

Attendance is a bright spot: chronic absenteeism fell from 45.8% in 2021–22 to 25.6% in 2025–26, slightly better than the district and essentially at the state average. That is better than nearby Lynch Ann Elementary School (38.9%), Cortez Manuel J Elementary School (33.8%), Futuro Academy Elementary (31.0%), and Nevada Prep Charter School (42.2%), though much higher than high-performing nearby schools such as Heard Lomie G Elementary School (10.0%), Miller Sandy Searles Elementary School (8.6%), and Mater Bonanza (9.0%). Earl Ira J spent $14,395 per student in 2023–24, lower than every nearby same-district school in the comparison set, and its student-teacher ratio of 17.2 is mid-pack among district neighbors. Still, Heard Lomie G Elementary School—0.48 miles away, similar size, also 100% free/reduced lunch—has 47.5% math and 48.5% reading, while Miller Sandy Searles Elementary School has 48.0% math and 58.9% reading, showing that poverty alone does not fully explain the gap.

Overall, Earl Ira J has improved attendance, mid-pack staffing, and rising per-student spending, but academic proficiency has stayed very low. Math was 16.3% in 2022–23 and 16.6% in 2025–26; reading rose from 15.6% to 19.1%, so increased resources have not yet produced a clear turnaround. For parents, the key question is why nearby high-poverty schools like Heard Lomie G Elementary School and Miller Sandy Searles Elementary School achieve at or above district and state levels while Earl Ira J remains in the bottom 1% statewide.
