Summary

Paradise Prof Dev Elementary School is a public elementary school in Las Vegas, Nevada, serving 383 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.

Despite the school's relatively high spending per student, ranging from $10,483 to $14,275 over the past few years, Paradise Prof Dev Elementary consistently underperforms compared to state and district averages in both mathematics and reading proficiency. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school's proficiency rates were 20.6% in mathematics and 21.7% in reading, compared to the state averages of 35.4% and 45.6%, respectively. The school also has significantly higher chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 25.6% to 33.7%, which is much higher than the state and district averages.

When comparing Paradise Prof Dev Elementary to nearby schools within the same district, such as Rowe Lewis E Elementary School, it becomes evident that the school is underperforming. Rowe Lewis E Elementary, located just 1.12 miles away, consistently outperforms Paradise Prof Dev Elementary in both mathematics and reading proficiency. The school's poor performance across multiple years and for various student subgroups suggests the need for targeted interventions and support to address the specific challenges faced by the school and its student population.
