Summary

Cartwright Roberta C Elementary School is a PK–5 school in Las Vegas, Nevada, serving 541 students as part of the Clark County School District. In 2025–2026 it ranked 211th of 376 Nevada elementary schools (44th percentile, 2 stars), placing it below the state median. That reflects a long decline from earlier highs — the school was at the 82nd percentile in 2013–2014 and the 77th in 2017–2018 — with a brief rebound to the 56th percentile in 2024–2025 before slipping again.

Results are mixed. All-grade proficiency was 37.6% in Math, 44.4% in Reading, and 13.8% in Science. Math is above both district and state averages, Reading is slightly above the district but just below the state, and Science falls well below both. Fifth grade is a bright spot: Reading was 59.1% and Math 35.2%, both above district and state. Third and fourth grade Math and Reading, however, fell below district and state, pulling down the all-grade totals. Chronic absenteeism was 29.6%, above the district (27.0%) and state (25.5%), though improved from 35.8% the year before.

Nearby comparisons are striking. Gehring Roger D Academy of Science & Technology Elementary School, just 0.16 miles away and also reporting 100% free/reduced lunch, ranks 2nd of 376 schools with 80.5% Math, 82.9% Reading, 63.8% Science, and 5.0% chronic absenteeism. Bass John C Elementary School (1.8 miles, 112th), Wolff Elise L Elementary School, Taylor Glen C Elementary School, and Schorr Steve Elementary School all outperform Cartwright, several with lower per-student spending and larger classes. Hummel John R Elementary School ranks lower, at 305th. The nearby charters Coral Academy Tamarus and Pinecrest Academy of Nevada St Rose rank in the 97th–98th percentiles, though their free/reduced lunch rates are around 28–29%, compared with Cartwright's 100%. Cartwright's own resources look favorable — a 14.2 student-teacher ratio and $15,640 per student — suggesting resources alone don't explain the achievement gap.
