Summary

Jeffers Jay W Elementary School is a public elementary school in Las Vegas, Nevada, serving 535 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. However, Jeffers Jay W Elementary School has consistently ranked in the bottom quarter of Nevada elementary schools, with a ranking between 350-373 out of around 380-390 schools.

One of the key challenges facing Jeffers Jay W Elementary School is its high chronic absenteeism rates, which have ranged from 25.6% to 31.3% in recent years, significantly higher than the district and state averages. Additionally, the school's academic performance, as measured by SBAC proficiency rates, is significantly below the district and state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's proficiency rates in mathematics and reading were 18.4% and 24%, respectively, compared to the district averages of 33% and 43.9%, and the state averages of 35.4% and 45.6%. The school's performance on SBAC assessments for various student subgroups, such as female students, male students, Hispanic students, English Language Learners, and students with special needs, is also generally lower than the state averages for those subgroups.

When comparing Jeffers Jay W Elementary School to nearby schools within the same district, it becomes evident that the school is underperforming compared to its peers. For instance, Bracken Walter Elementary School, which is 1.56 miles away, consistently outperforms Jeffers Jay W Elementary School in both mathematics and reading proficiency rates by a significant margin. Additionally, Jeffers Jay W Elementary School has a 100% free and reduced-price lunch rate, indicating that the student population comes from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, which may be a contributing factor to the school's academic challenges. Despite an increase in per-student spending over the years, from $9,141 in 2019-2020 to $12,790 in 2021-2022, the school's academic performance has not improved.
