Summary

Piggott Academy Elementary School is a public magnet elementary school in Las Vegas, Nevada, serving grades PK-5 with a student population of 718. As part of the Clark County School District, which is ranked 5 out of 12 in the state, Piggott Academy consistently outperforms the district and state averages in academic performance.

Piggott Academy's academic excellence is evident across various metrics. In the 2024-2025 school year, the school had 62.3% of students proficient or better in SBAC Mathematics, compared to 33% for Clark County and 35.4% for Nevada. This trend extends to SBAC Reading and Science as well. Piggott Academy has also been ranked among the top 15% of elementary schools in Nevada over the past several years.

Compared to nearby schools, such as Goolsby Judy & John L Elementary School, Piggott Academy's academic results are significantly higher. Despite having 100% of its students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, Piggott Academy's educational model and resources appear to be effectively supporting students from low-income backgrounds. The school's magnet status and higher per-student funding of $11,084 in 2021-2022 may contribute to its success.
