Summary
Vegas Verdes Elementary School is a public elementary school in Las Vegas, Nevada, serving 707 students in grades PK-5 and part of the Clark County School District, which is ranked 5 out of 12 districts in the state.
While Vegas Verdes Elementary has shown some strengths in serving specific student subgroups, such as ranking highly for its performance with Hispanic, English Language Learner, and Special Education students, the school has consistently underperformed compared to the Clark County and Nevada state averages in standardized test scores for mathematics, reading, and science. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school's proficiency rates were 31.2% in mathematics, 33.3% in reading, and 14.5% in science, while the state averages were 35.4%, 45.6%, and 27.2%, respectively. Additionally, Vegas Verdes Elementary has had high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 19.6% to 31.3% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state average.
When comparing Vegas Verdes Elementary to nearby schools in the same district, such as Wynn Elaine Elementary, Red Rock Elementary, and Hancock Doris Elementary, it appears to be underperforming academically. However, all of these nearby schools have very high rates of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, indicating that the student population comes from low-socioeconomic backgrounds. Despite these challenges, the school's strengths in serving specific student subgroups suggest potential opportunities for targeted interventions and improvements.
