Summary

Thiriot Joseph E Elementary School is a PK–5 school in Las Vegas, Nevada, serving 607 students at 5700 W Harmon Ave as part of the Clark County School District. It currently holds a 2-star rating, ranking 204 of 376 Nevada elementary schools in 2025–2026, at the 46th percentile. That places it mid-pack locally: among nine nearby same-district schools, Thiriot ranks about 5th, ahead of Wynn Elaine, Roundy Dr C Owen, Dondero Harvey N, and Earl Marion B, but behind Jydstrup Helen, Kim Frank, Decker C H, and Gray R Guild. The school was historically a 3-star school in the mid-50s to mid-60s percentile before a pandemic-era drop to 1 star in 2020–2021; it has since stabilized at 2 stars without fully returning to earlier levels.

Reading is the bright spot. Overall reading proficiency is 45.2% — at the state average, above the district's 43.3%, and third highest among nearby same-district schools. Fourth grade reading is notably strong at 53.6%. Math is more mixed at 34.4%: slightly above the district, below the state, and 7th of 10 locally. Fifth grade math is the clearest concern at 17.9%, far below district (32.2%) and state (34.7%), with only Wynn and Roundy lower nearby. Science results for 2025–2026 are suppressed by the state, so current science performance is unknown; the last reported results (16% in 2023–2024, 17% in 2022–2023) were below district and state.

Attendance is a genuine strength: chronic absenteeism fell from 38.3% in 2021–2022 to 19.0% in 2025–2026, below both district (27.0%) and state (25.5%), and second lowest among nearby same-district schools behind only Earl. Class sizes are favorable at a 13.7 student-teacher ratio, better than most nearby schools, and per-student spending rose sharply to $16,632 in 2023–2024 — about mid-pack locally. Nearly all students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, a context shared by almost every nearby Clark County school. The nearby charter Amplus Rainbow scores much higher but serves a very different population.
