Summary

Perkins Dr Claude G Elementary School is a PK–5 school in North Las Vegas, Nevada, serving 546 students in the Clark County School District. The district is rated 5th of 12 in Nevada, 58th percentile, 4 stars, but Perkins’ own 2025–26 rank is 349th of 376 Nevada elementary schools, 7th percentile, 0 stars. Its history shows long-term decline: 42nd percentile in 2017–18, 4th percentile in 2022–23, 13th in 2023–24, 6th in 2024–25, and 7th in 2025–26. It is high-poverty, with 100% free/reduced lunch in recent years, though nearby schools share that context.

For 2025–26, Perkins’ all-grade proficiency is 22.2% in math and 26.3% in reading, below the district’s 33.8% and 43.3% and the state’s 36.2% and 45.2%. Science is suppressed by the state, so it is unknown. Grade-level results are low across the board, with the biggest gaps in 4th grade reading—21.3% versus 43.8% district and 45.4% state—and 5th grade reading—28.9% versus 50.7% district and 52.7% state. Chronic absenteeism is a major red flag: 35.7% in 2025–26, above the district’s 27.0% and the state’s 25.5%. By contrast, nearby Mackey Jo Elementary School has 13.3% chronic absenteeism, and McCall Quannah Elementary School has 16.3%.

Perkins spends $16,357 per student in 2023–24 and has a 2024–25 student–teacher ratio of 15.6, which is not worse than many nearby schools with stronger outcomes. Mackey Jo Elementary School serves a similar high-poverty population but posts 44.1% math and 45.7% reading, with lower spending ($14,235) and a higher ratio (17.1). Craig Lois Elementary School has lower proficiency—12% math and 16.5% reading—and similar absenteeism at 35.5%, while Elizondo Raul P Elementary School is similar in math at 22.4% but slightly higher in reading at 27.0%. Perkins has improved some inputs: spending rose from $11,493 in 2020–21 to $16,357 in 2023–24, the student–teacher ratio improved from 20.8 to 15.6, and absenteeism fell from 49.8% in 2021–22 before ticking up. The only subgroup ranking data is from 2017–18, when effectiveness for English language learner students was relatively strong at the 86th percentile, 4 stars; that is historical and should not be assumed to describe the school today.
