Summary

Earl Ira J Elementary School is a public elementary school in Las Vegas, Nevada, serving 635 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Clark County School District, which is ranked 5 out of 12 in the state and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. However, Earl Ira J Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom quartile of Nevada elementary schools over the past several years.

One of the key challenges facing Earl Ira J Elementary is its high chronic absenteeism rates, which have ranged from 25.6% to 31.3% in recent years, significantly higher than the state and district averages. The school's academic performance, as measured by SBAC proficiency rates, is also significantly below state and district averages across all grade levels and subjects. For example, in 2024-2025, only 15.8% of students were proficient in math and 17.8% were proficient in reading, compared to 35.4% and 45.6% statewide, respectively. The school's performance is particularly low for certain student subgroups, such as male students, Hispanic students, and students with disabilities.

Interestingly, the schools closest to Earl Ira J Elementary, such as Lynch Ann Elementary, Cortez Manuel J Elementary, and Diaz Ruben P Elementary, also have relatively low academic performance and high rates of chronic absenteeism. However, some nearby magnet schools, like Miller Sandy Searles Elementary and Heard Lomie G Elementary, demonstrate significantly higher academic achievement, suggesting that school choice and specialized programs may be a factor in student success. Additionally, two nearby charter schools, Futuro Academy Elementary and Mater Bonanza, outperform Earl Ira J Elementary and the surrounding district schools in both math and reading proficiency.
