Summary

Priest Richard C Elementary School is a public elementary school in North Las Vegas, Nevada, serving 687 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Clark County School District, which is ranked 5 out of 12 in the state and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite the school's efforts, Priest Richard C Elementary faces several challenges. The school has consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 25.6% to 32.5% over the past few years, which are significantly higher than the state and district averages. Academically, the school's proficiency rates in both mathematics and reading are consistently lower than the state and district averages across all grade levels. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school's overall mathematics proficiency rate was 31.4%, compared to 33% for the district and 35.4% for the state.

Interestingly, the nearby schools, such as Cozine Steve and Linda Elementary, Guy Addeliar D III Elementary, and Wilhelm Elizabeth Elementary, generally perform better than Priest Richard C Elementary in terms of academic proficiency rates and chronic absenteeism. This suggests that addressing the school's challenges, such as high chronic absenteeism and low academic performance, could be crucial for its progress.
