Summary

Barber Shirley A Elementary School is a public elementary school in Las Vegas, Nevada, serving grades PK-5 with a student population of 779. 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.

Barber Shirley A Elementary School consistently outperforms the Clark County and Nevada state averages in both math and reading proficiency across all grade levels. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school had 48.5% of students proficient or better in math, compared to 33% for Clark County and 35.4% for Nevada. In reading, the school had 56.4% proficiency, compared to 43.9% for Clark County and 45.6% for Nevada. However, the school has higher chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 25.5% to 31.3% over the past few years, which is an area of concern.

Barber Shirley A Elementary School outperforms most of the nearby schools, such as Hummel John R Elementary School and Beatty John R Elementary School, in both math and reading proficiency. The school has also shown steady improvement in its test scores over the past few years, with the percentage of students proficient or better in math and reading increasing each year. Additionally, the school's higher per-student spending compared to the state average suggests that it has access to more resources and funding, which may be contributing to its relatively strong academic performance.
