Summary

Twitchell Neil C Elementary School is a PK–5 school in Henderson, NV, in Clark County School District, serving 551 students. In 2025–2026, it ranked 20th of 376 Nevada elementary schools—95th percentile, 5 stars. It has stayed in the top 10% in nearly every year shown, peaked at 11th of 341 (97th percentile) in 2017–2018, dipped to 62nd in 2021–2022, and has recovered to its highest recent rank.

Math and science are standout strengths. For 2025–2026, all-grades math proficiency is 71.2% versus 33.8% in the district and 36.2% statewide; reading is 68.7% versus 43.3% and 45.2%; science is 44.0% versus 23.5% and 25.5%. Third-grade math is 81.3%, and fifth-grade science is 44.0%, nearly 2.8 times the district rate and 2.5 times the state rate. Nearby, Vanderburg John Elementary School (0.11 miles away) ranks 27/376 and slightly leads reading (70.3% vs. 68.7%), but Twitchell leads math (71.2% vs. 64.8%), science (44.0% vs. 39.7%), and chronic absenteeism (12.7% vs. 16.0%). McDoniel Estes M Elementary School has lower proficiency despite the lowest nearby student-teacher ratio and best attendance; Roberts Aggie Elementary School performs far lower while spending more. Somerset Academy Stephanie, a charter, spends much less and has a much higher ratio; its elementary math and fifth-grade science trail Twitchell, and its all-grades science includes middle school, so it is not directly comparable.

Attendance is a major advantage: chronic absenteeism dropped from 25.2% in 2021–2022 to 16.1% in 2022–2023, then to about 12% recently—12.1% in 2023–2024, 12.0% in 2024–2025, and 12.7% in 2025–2026—less than half district and state rates. Spending was $14,816 per student in 2023–2024, up from $9,215 in 2020–2021, and the student-teacher ratio improved from 17.4 in 2023–2024 to 15.7 in 2024–2025. These are moderate figures, not the highest or smallest nearby. The school also shows strong results across most student groups, including low-income and special education students. Overall, Twitchell is consistently top-decile with standout math and science, unusually low absenteeism, and broad effectiveness.
