Summary

Cox David M Elementary School is a PK–5 public elementary school in Henderson, NV, enrolling 460 students in the Clark County School District, and in 2025–2026 it ranks 73rd of 376 Nevada elementary schools — the 81st percentile — with a 4-star rating. Its academics sit comfortably above both district and state averages: 55.0% proficiency in math, 61.9% in reading, and 30.8% in science, compared with 33.8%, 43.3%, and 23.5% for Clark County and 36.2%, 45.2%, and 25.5% for Nevada. Chronic absenteeism is 17.0%, below the district's 27.0% and the state's 25.5%, and the school has held a 4-star rating for several years.

Henderson is a competitive neighborhood, so context matters. Twitchell Neil C Elementary School, Vanderburg John Elementary School, Taylor Glen C Elementary School, and Coral Academy Tamarus generally post higher proficiency or rankings, leaving Cox David M Elementary School mid-pack locally while still strong statewide. Reading is its clearest relative strength (61.9% all-grade, 62.5% in 3rd grade). Math is uneven by grade: 3rd-grade math is excellent at 68.2%, but 4th grade is 51.3% and 5th grade is 48.1%, ranking 8th of 10 same-district peers. Science (30.8%) beats district and state but trails Twitchell (44.0%), Vanderburg (39.7%), and Taylor (37.1%). Absenteeism has improved from 23.5% in 2021–2022 to 17.0%, better than the nearby average but still 6th of 10 peers.

The closest neighbor offers a striking contrast: Roberts Aggie Elementary School, just 0.27 miles away, ranks in the 28th percentile with 1 star, 26.8% math and 39.3% reading, and 26.8% chronic absenteeism — despite spending more per student ($17,476) and having a lower student-teacher ratio (14.5) than Cox's $15,614 and 16.4. Coral Academy is a strong nearby option but a K–4 charter with far lower free/reduced lunch and a reported ratio of 39.0, so it is not an apples-to-apples comparison. Overall, Cox is a solid 4-star choice whose main local opportunities are 4th/5th-grade math, science relative to top nearby schools, and continued absenteeism gains.
