Summary

Vegas Verdes Elementary School is a PK–5 school at 4000 El Parque Ave in Las Vegas (89102), part of Clark County, serving 710 students — the largest enrollment in its immediate neighborhood peer group — with 100% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch.

Statewide, the school ranked 284th of 376 Nevada elementary schools in 2025-26 (24th percentile, 1 star), well down from the 75th–76th percentile and 4 stars it held from 2015-16 through 2017-18. The freefall has stopped — the last three years sit at the 27th, 26th and 24th percentile — but the school has not recovered its former standing. Attendance is the brightest spot: 23.7% of students were chronically absent in 2025-26, better than the district (27.0%) and state (25.5%), and far below the 40.8% of 2021-22. Science is also improving, climbing from 10.5% proficient in 2022-23 to 24.1% in 2025-26, at or above district and state levels. Reading sits at 33.2%, roughly 10–12 points behind district and state, and math slipped to 25.6% this year.

Compared with nearby schools, Vegas Verdes spends the least per student ($13,975 in 2023-24) of any Clark County peer, while enrolling the most students and running a 17.3 student-teacher ratio. Its math and reading place it 4th and 5th among nine local district schools. The closest school, Sage Collegiate Public Charter School (0.65 miles away), performs at a similar level, while Pinecrest Academy of Nevada Springs (1.75 miles) posts roughly double the proficiency rates — so charter proximity alone does not predict results. One pattern to watch: math drops from 33.6% in 3rd grade to 20.5% in 5th, and the reading gap widens to nearly 19 points by 5th grade.
