Summary

Wallin Shirley & Bill Elementary School is a PK–5 school in Henderson, Nevada, serving 735 students as part of the Clark County School District. In 2025–2026 it ranked 50th of 376 Nevada elementary schools — the 87th percentile — with a 4-star rating. That marks a step down from an impressive run: the school earned 5 stars in 2022–2023, 2023–2024, and 2024–2025, and ranked in the top 10 statewide every year from 2015–2016 through 2018–2019. Even so, proficiency remains strong, at 59.2% in math, 67.6% in reading, and 34.7% in science — roughly 22–25 points above state averages in math and reading.

Compared with nearby schools, Wallin is solidly above average but no longer the local leader. It clearly outperforms Ellis Robert & Sandy Elementary School, Schorr Steve Elementary School, and Barber Shirley A Elementary School in every subject, and is close to Taylor Glen C Elementary School. However, Twitchell Neil C Elementary School, Vanderburg John Elementary School, Lamping Frank Elementary School, and Wolff Elise L Elementary School generally score higher in math and reading and hold 5-star ratings. The nearby charters, Pinecrest Academy of Nevada Inspirada and Pinecrest Academy of Nevada St Rose, sit in a higher tier but serve far fewer students from low-income families, so those comparisons are not apples-to-apples.

Reading is Wallin's strongest subject (71.0% in 5th grade), while science is the relative weak spot, and 5th grade math dips to 42.1% — still above district and state, but well below the school's 3rd and 4th grade math. Chronic absenteeism is 18.8%, better than the district and state but higher than several neighbors, and it has improved since 2022–2023. Notably, Wallin spends less per student ($12,415) and has larger classes (17.9 students per teacher) than every nearby district school, yet still produces above-average results.

We recently moved to the area this past summer and was initially very excited with the top rating the school claims on its website as well as the look and feel of the school.

After a few months of our children being in this school (2nd and 5th grade) we are extremely disappointed. Having to move from Connecticut to Las Vegas for my husbands work was less than ideal. We thought we made a good choice in moving to what seemed a nice area, away from the strip, with good schools was all a mirage.

My kids are coming home not happy, the teachers seem to have very little experience and are pushed to make sure the kids are learning curriculum to ensure they can continue to advertise the so called "high test scores". The parents all seem like they aspire to be on Housewives of Beverly hills. Everything about this school is fake and be sure to not judge a book by its beautiful cover. Its whats inside that counts. If you want to have your kids in a school where the teachers care about learning, the parents care about their kids more than their own image, this is NOT the school for you. We are currently exploring private schools or possibly moving to Summerlin after getting to know more about the layout of this city. I CAN't wait to get out of this school!
Its amazing that no matter how highly rated a school may seem in this state, the lowest education ranking is certainly deserved from 1-5 star schools. Close Quote

My son who was diagnosed with autism has excelled at this school. He went from having little language to an exploding vocabulary. My sns teachers have all been great and his resource teachers are wonderful. Any issues I have ever had have been addressed. They encourage parent volunteers and have fun functions throughout the year. There are reward programs in place to encourage good behavior. Close Quote
