Summary

Thorpe Jim Elementary School is a public elementary school in Henderson, Nevada, serving grades PK-5 with 397 students. While the Clark County School District is ranked 5 out of 12 in the state with a 4-star rating, Thorpe Jim Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Nevada elementary schools with a 1-star rating.

The school faces significant challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates (25.6% to 31.3%) that are much higher than district and state averages. Academically, Thorpe Jim Elementary lags behind the Clark County School District and the state of Nevada, with only 26.2% of students proficient or better in SBAC Mathematics, compared to 33% for the district and 35.4% for the state. The school also struggles to serve its diverse student population, ranking in the bottom half of Nevada elementary schools for Hispanic, White, and Low Socioeconomic Status students.

Interestingly, nearby schools such as Whitney Elementary and McDoniel Estes M Elementary perform significantly better than Thorpe Jim Elementary across various metrics, suggesting that the school may need to learn from the strategies and interventions of its higher-performing neighbors to address its persistent academic and attendance challenges.
