Summary

Thorpe Jim Elementary School is a PK–5 school in Henderson, Nevada, serving 455 students as part of the Clark County School District. In 2025–2026 it ranked 240th of 376 Nevada elementary schools — the 36th percentile, with 2 stars — while the district as a whole ranked 5th of 12 in the state (58th percentile, 4 stars). In plain terms, this school currently sits below its district's overall rating, but it is moving in the right direction.

In 2025–2026, 34.7% of students were proficient in math and 37.5% in reading. Math is close to the district (33.8%) and state (36.2%), but reading trails both (district 43.3%, state 45.2%). Science results were suppressed by the state, so the school's science performance is unknown — not zero. Third-grade math is a bright spot at 48.1%, above district and state, but math drops to 31.2% in 4th grade and 22.8% in 5th. Reading is below district and state at every tested grade, and lowest in 4th grade at 31.2%. The longer trend is encouraging: math climbed from 19.6% in 2022–2023 to 34.7%, and reading from 28.4% to 37.5%.

Chronic absenteeism is 32.0% — roughly one in three students — above the district (27.0%) and state (25.5%), though far better than 57.9% in 2021–2022. Per-student spending is $19,903, above the nearby median of about $16,500. Nearby results are mixed: Treem Harriet Elementary School, just 0.09 miles away, posts higher math, reading, and science with lower absenteeism and lower spending ($15,824), and McDoniel Estes M Elementary School and Mack Nate Elementary School also outperform it, while Whitney Elementary School and Cunningham Cynthia Elementary School rank lower. Silver Sands Montessori is a nearby charter with a different context, so comparisons there are best made cautiously. The takeaway: real momentum, with reading, upper-grade math, and attendance the areas to watch.
