Summary

J G Johnson Elementary School is a public elementary school in Pahrump, Nevada, serving 527 students in grades PK-5. Unfortunately, the school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Nevada elementary schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger and a current ranking of 366 out of 379 schools for the 2024-2025 school year.

One of the key issues facing J G Johnson Elementary is its high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 24.6% to 28.3% over the past few years, significantly higher than the state average. Academically, the school's performance on SBAC tests is also significantly below state and district averages across all grade levels and subject areas, with only 13.7% of students proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to 35.4% statewide and 22.2% in the Nye district. The school's performance for specific student subgroups, such as female, male, Hispanic, White, special education, and low socioeconomic status students, is also well below state and district averages.

Interestingly, the nearby schools, such as Manse Elementary, Hafen Elementary, and Floyd Elementary, generally outperform J G Johnson Elementary in terms of academic achievement and overall school rankings. This suggests that the challenges faced by J G Johnson Elementary may be unique to the school or the local community. Additionally, the school's high poverty rate, with a 100% free and reduced-lunch rate, may be a significant factor contributing to its academic challenges and high chronic absenteeism.
