Summary

Hummel John R Elementary School is a PK–5 school serving 585 students on Placid Street in the southeast Las Vegas valley, part of the Clark County School District. In 2025–2026 it ranked 305th of 376 Nevada elementary schools — the 19th percentile, with 1 star. That is a steep drop from 2016–17 and 2017–18, when Hummel John R Elementary School sat near the 67th percentile with 3 stars, and from 2018–19, when it was at the 48th percentile. Since 2020–21, it has mostly hovered in the 19th–34th percentile range with 1–2 stars.

In 2025–2026, 26.7% of students were proficient in math and 30.5% in reading — below district and state averages and the lowest among the nearby schools listed here. Chronic absenteeism was 34.6%, higher than every listed nearby school and above the district's 27.0% and the state's 25.5%; it has improved from 48.6% in 2021–2022 but remains high. Neighbors such as Barber Shirley A Elementary School (50.9% math, 63.0% reading), Schorr Steve Elementary School, Wolff Elise L Elementary School and Gehring Roger D Academy of Science & Technology Elementary School post much stronger results, and the nearby charters Coral Academy Tamarus and Pinecrest Academy of Nevada St Rose rank 7th and 12th statewide.

Hummel's resources do not look obviously worse than its same-district peers: per-student spending of $14,197 in 2023–2024 is mid-range among them, and its 15.8 student-teacher ratio is close to their average. Early reading and math are the weakest spots — 3rd-grade reading at 23.2% and 4th-grade math at 22.0%, both far below district and state. Science for 2025–2026 is suppressed by the state; the last reported all-grades figure, 12.4% in 2022–2023, was well below district and state. Historically the school ranked strongly for English Language Learner students (92nd percentile) and low-income students (86th percentile) in 2017–2018 — old data, but a possible starting point for rebuilding.
