Summary

Parson Claude & Stella Elementary School is a PK–5 school in Las Vegas, NV, with 323 students, part of the Clark County School District. In 2025–2026, it ranked 334th of 376 Nevada elementary schools (11th percentile, 1 star)—the lowest in its local comparison set—while its district ranks in the 58th percentile. Math proficiency is 14.6% and reading 25.8%, roughly half the district and state rates. Science scores were suppressed. Proficiency has been flat at a low level for four years, even as the district improved.

Chronic absenteeism is the most distinctive challenge: 37.4% in 2025–2026, the highest in the comparison set, well above the district and state. The district improved from 38.3% to 27.0% while this school barely moved. Its student-to-teacher ratio is 21.5:1, the highest among district peers, and per-student spending is $18,187—near the top locally, yet outcomes remain low. Nearby schools show a different picture: Tobler R E Elementary School (1.55 miles) posts 44.7% math and 54.2% reading with 10.3% chronic absenteeism and a 15.8:1 ratio, and May Ernest Elementary School (1.88 miles) is a 4-star school with 50.3% math and 60.4% reading. The charter Somerset Academy Lone Mountain spends $7,937 per student yet achieves 53.5% math, 66.2% reading, and 9.4% absenteeism. The 2025–2026 rank uptick is driven by 3rd-grade math (37.1% vs. district 44.8%), while upper grades lag far behind.

Bottom line: Parson Claude & Stella Elementary School is a small, high-poverty school performing below its district and state for at least four years, despite spending near the top of the local range. Its most actionable issues are chronic absenteeism and the high student-teacher ratio. The rank improvement and relatively strong 3rd-grade math are positive but isolated signals. The nearest benchmark is Tobler R E Elementary School, a demographically similar Clark County school achieving much better results—evidence that a different operating point is possible within the same district. Science remains an open question because its data is suppressed. Parents should weigh attendance supports and classroom staffing alongside the school's recent modest gains.
