Summary

Piggott Academy Elementary School is a PK–5 school in Las Vegas, Nevada, part of the Clark County district, serving 686 students. In 2025–2026, it ranked 34th of 376 Nevada elementary schools — the 91st percentile — and earned a 5-star rating. It also ranks 5th of 12 in its district, meaning the school performs well above its district's overall position.

Proficiency in 2025–2026 was 66.8% in math, 70.8% in reading, and 36.5% in science — all well above Clark County district and state averages. Among nearby schools, Goolsby Judy & John L Elementary School, Bonner John W Elementary School, and Givens Linda Rankin Elementary School post equal or higher math and reading results, while Doral Academy Saddle matches Piggott in reading (70.8% each) and trails in math (62.7% vs. 66.8%). Piggott clearly outperforms Derfelt Herbert A Elementary School, Jacobson Walter Elementary School, Bendorf Patricia A Elementary School, Christensen M J Elementary School, and Ober D'Vorre & Hal Elementary School. Its 3rd-grade math proficiency of 87.2% is the highest among nearby schools, but 4th- and 5th-grade math (56.8% and 55.7%) trail top peers. Science is above district and state but below Goolsby (47.8%), Hayes Keith C & Karen W Elementary School (43.4%), and Givens (39.8%); some nearby schools' science figures were suppressed by the state.

Chronic absenteeism is Piggott's strongest differentiator: 7.1% in 2025–2026, far below district (27.0%) and state (25.5%) and the lowest among nearby schools — Bonner John W Elementary School 9.8%, Doral Academy Saddle 11.1%, Givens Linda Rankin Elementary School 15.6%, and Goolsby Judy & John L Elementary School 15.7%. The school's trajectory is strong, with its statewide percentile rising from 66th in 2020–2021 to 91st and absenteeism falling from 24.1%. Per-student spending is $14,285 with a 16.7 student-teacher ratio — more than Goolsby, Bonner, Givens, and Doral, but less than several lower-performing neighbors, suggesting spending and class size alone don't explain outcomes. As reported, 100% of students qualified for free/reduced lunch.
