Summary

Culley Paul E Elementary School is a public elementary school in Las Vegas, Nevada, serving 595 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 per-student spending, Culley Paul E Elementary School faces significant challenges. The school has consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 25.6% to 31.3% in recent years, which is significantly higher than the state and district averages. Academically, the school's performance on SBAC tests is consistently below the state and district averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school's proficiency rates in mathematics (25.4%) and reading (32.7%) were significantly lower than the state (35.4% and 45.6%) and district (33% and 43.9%) averages. The school's performance is particularly low for certain student subgroups, such as African American students and Special Education students.

Interestingly, the nearby Reed Doris M Elementary, Warren Rose Elementary, and Katz Edythe & Lloyd Elementary schools also struggle with low academic performance and high chronic absenteeism rates, suggesting that the challenges faced by Culley Paul E Elementary School may be systemic within the Clark County School District. Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending, its performance has remained stagnant or even declined over the past several years, indicating that the school may need to re-evaluate its strategies and interventions to better support student learning.

Terrible school. The 'educational' capacity is an absolute joke. The children are all incredibly rude and disrespectful, to both other students and staff. They do absolutely nothing about bullying. There is nothing good to say about this school. If you have ANY other options, do NOT send your child here. Close Quote
