Summary

Beatty John R Elementary School is a PK–5 neighborhood school serving 486 students on Hidden Palms Parkway in the southeast Las Vegas valley, part of the Clark County School District. For 2025–2026 it ranks 157th of 376 Nevada elementary schools — the 58th percentile, with a 3-star rating.

Reading is the school's clearest strength: 56.6% of students met proficiency standards, 13.3 points above the district and 11.4 points above the state, and second only to Barber Shirley A Elementary School among the nearby Clark County elementary schools. Reading results are nearly identical in grades 3, 4, and 5 (56.4%, 56.4%, 56.9%), which suggests a consistent school-wide approach rather than one lucky class. Math is also solid at 41.4%, above district and state, and has risen steadily for four years. Two gaps stand out: science proficiency is 16.1%, ahead of only Cartwright Roberta C Elementary School locally, and 5th-grade math drops to 25.8%, below district and state even though those same 5th graders post the school's best reading score.

Attendance is the trend to watch. Chronic absenteeism improved to 31.5% from 36.3% in 2021–22, but the district improved far faster (40.6% to 27.0%), so Beatty now trails both district and state after previously beating them. For context, Gehring Roger D Academy of Science & Technology Elementary School, 1.35 miles away, ranks 2nd in the state with 5.0% absenteeism while spending less per student ($14,925) and running larger classes; Bass John C Elementary School shows a milder version of the same pattern. Beatty's own per-pupil spending has climbed 55% since 2020–21 to $16,535, but results remain below the school's pre-2020 peak.
