Summary

Bilbray James Elementary School is a PK–5 school in Las Vegas, NV, serving 693 students in the Clark County district, in a competitive northwest Las Vegas area. In 2025–2026 it ranked 80th of 376 Nevada elementary schools, at the 79th percentile with 4 stars, and it has earned 4 stars every year shown. Its 2025–2026 chronic absenteeism is 22.7%, better than district and state, and it serves a 100% free/reduced-lunch population. Per-student spending is $15,088, with a student–teacher ratio of 17.3.

Academically, Bilbray’s 2025–2026 SBAC proficiency is above district and state averages: 54.1% in math, 59.5% in reading, and 31.0% in science. Fourth-grade math is a standout at 65.2%, while fifth-grade math is 45.3% — still above district and state but lower than the school’s other math grades. Science improved sharply from 14.0–14.5% in the prior two years, but that volatility means the gain should be watched. Locally, Bilbray is in the upper-middle of a high-performing cluster. Somerset Academy Skye Canyon, O Roarke Thomas Elementary School, Coral Academy Centennial Hills, Darnell Marshall C Elementary School, and Divich Kenneth Elementary School rank higher; Bilbray is similar to Bozarth Henry & Evelyn Elementary School and stronger by rank than Thompson Sandra L Elementary School, Scherkenbach William & Mary Elementary School, and Rhodes Betsy Elementary School.

Attendance is better than district and state but mid-pack locally: Divich Kenneth Elementary School, Bozarth Henry & Evelyn Elementary School, Scherkenbach William & Mary Elementary School, Rhodes Betsy Elementary School, and O Roarke Thomas Elementary School have lower chronic absenteeism, while Darnell Marshall C Elementary School has much higher absenteeism at 33.4%. Historical subgroup data from 2017–2018 shows exceptional effectiveness with low-income students — rank 5 of 321 statewide, 98th percentile, 5 stars — and solid results for special education students — rank 47 of 227, 79th percentile, 4 stars. Overall, it is a consistently solid, above-average school with strong fourth-grade math, recent science improvement, and a healthy attendance edge over district/state, though it faces questions about stabilizing science, lifting fifth-grade math, reversing the recent absenteeism uptick, and closing the gap with higher-ranked local schools.
