Summary

Jeffers Jay W Elementary School is a PK–5 school in Las Vegas, NV, serving 504 students in the Clark County School District. The district is rated relatively well (5th of 12, 58th percentile, 4 stars), but Jeffers ranked 327th of 376 Nevada schools in 2025–2026, placing it in the 13th percentile with 1 star. That is its best statewide percentile since 2017–2018, though still in the bottom sixth of schools. 100% of students receive free/reduced lunch.

Compared with nearby schools, Jeffers sits in the lower cluster. Its 2025–2026 rank percentile (13) is near the middle of a nearby group ranging from 3 to 81, but its math proficiency (22.9%) and reading proficiency (29.5%) are below the nearby medians of 25.5% and 31.6%. Chronic absenteeism is 28.2%, above the district (27.0%) and state (25.5%), and above the nearby median of 24.0%. Its student–teacher ratio of 19.3 is the highest among nearby schools (14.0–18.2), while per-student spending is $15,568, below the nearby median of $17,424. Jeffers outperforms Diaz Ruben P Elementary School and is close to Williams Tom Elementary School and Lincoln Elementary School, but trails higher-performing nearby schools such as Bracken Walter Elementary School, Heard Lomie G Elementary School, Herron Fay Elementary School, and Tate Myrtle Elementary School. Bracken is an outlier: 81st percentile, 54.0% math, 60.5% reading.

Jeffers has improved from a low base. From 2022–2023 to 2025–2026, math rose from 13.9% to 22.9%, reading from 20.6% to 29.5%, and chronic absenteeism fell from 51.2% to 28.2%. Still, it remains below district and state in math and reading. 5th grade reading is a bright spot at 43.8% proficient, about 21–23 points higher than 3rd and 4th grade reading and within single digits of district and state. 4th grade math is the weakest at 15.7%, 25.1 points below district and 27.7 below state. Science is suppressed by the state. Overall, Jeffers is a high-poverty school with recent improvement but still below benchmarks; its main challenge is the high student–teacher ratio, while encouraging signs are rising scores, declining absenteeism, and strong 5th grade reading.
