Summary

Watson Fredric W Elementary School is a PK–5 school in North Las Vegas, Nevada, serving 633 students as part of the Clark County school district.

Watson ranked 265th of 376 Nevada elementary schools in 2025–26, placing it at the 30th percentile with 2 stars — below both its district and state averages. In 2025–26, 28.5% of students were proficient in math (vs. 33.8% district, 36.2% state) and 38.3% in reading (vs. 43.3% district, 45.2% state). Science results for 2025–26 were suppressed by the state; in 2024–25, science was 11.8%, far below district and state. Among nearby same-district schools, Watson sits roughly in the middle: behind Cozine Steve and Linda Elementary School (43rd percentile), Antonello Lee Elementary School (40th), and Hayden Don E Elementary School (31st), but ahead of Simmons Eva G Elementary School, Tartan John Elementary School, Elizondo Raul P Elementary School, Duncan Ruby Elementary School, and Scott Jesse D Elementary School. The two nearby charter schools rank higher — Somerset Academy North Las Vegas (72nd percentile) and Freedom Classical Academy K-8 (52nd).

Watson has improved steadily: its statewide percentile rose from 14 in 2023–24 to 30 in 2025–26, and chronic absenteeism fell from 39.0% in 2021–22 to 27.4% in 2025–26, slightly above the state's 25.5%. The clearest academic priorities are 5th-grade math (16.9% proficient, roughly half the district and state rates) and 4th-grade reading (32.4%, about 11 points below district and state), while 3rd-grade reading (40.8%) is a relative strength. Per-student spending was $15,680 in 2023–24, and the student-teacher ratio improved to 17.5 in 2024–25; nearby charter schools achieve higher proficiency with much lower spending and larger classes, suggesting resources alone may not explain the gap.
