Summary

Pittman Vail Elementary School is a PK–5 school at 6333 Fargo Ave. in Las Vegas, NV, serving 464 students as part of Clark County, where nearly all students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch. In 2025–2026 it ranked 283rd of 376 Nevada elementary schools — the 25th percentile with 1 star — a slow climb from the 9th percentile in 2020–2021, though still below its pre-pandemic 41st percentile in 2018–2019.

In 2025–2026, 27.6% of students met standards in math and 35.7% in reading, both below district and state averages; science results were suppressed for 2025–2026, and the last reported year, 2024–2025, showed 13.8%. Locally, Pittman Vail is mid-pack: it outperforms Culley Paul E Elementary School, Katz Edythe & Lloyd Elementary School, McWilliams J T Elementary School, Ronzone Bertha Elementary School and Red Rock Elementary School in math, but trails Warren Rose Elementary School, McMillan James B Elementary School, Smith Helen M Elementary School and Adcock O K Elementary School. The nearby charter Pinecrest Academy of Nevada Springs posts far higher proficiency — 62.7% in math and 65.5% in reading. Grade-level results reveal a split: reading rises from 27.3% in 3rd grade to 46.2% in 5th, stronger than most nearby Clark schools, while math falls from 36.9% to 16.4%.

Chronic absenteeism is the clearest immediate red flag: 35.0% in 2025–2026, above the district's 27.0% and the state's 25.5%, and higher than every nearby Clark County school except McMillan at 36.1%. It dropped to 25.7% in 2024–2025 before rebounding, so attendance is not yet a stable strength. Resources don't look like the constraint — a 14.0 student-teacher ratio and $16,421 per-pupil spending compare favorably with nearby Clark schools. Historically, the school's effectiveness ratings were strongest for English Language Learner and special education students (2017–2018 data), a possible internal strength. Overall: improving but still below average, with reading momentum to protect and upper-grade math the most pressing academic need.
