Summary

Hafen Elementary School is a public elementary school in Pahrump, Nevada, serving 406 students in grades PK-5. The school has consistently struggled with low academic performance, ranking between 170 to 271 out of 300-400 Nevada elementary schools over the past 10 years and currently holding a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

One of the key challenges facing Hafen Elementary is its high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 22.6% to 28.3% in recent years, significantly higher than the state average. This issue with student attendance may be impacting the school's academic outcomes, as its test scores on the SBAC assessments for Mathematics and Reading are generally below the state and Nye district averages, especially in the upper elementary grades. For example, in 2024-2025, only 13.1% of 5th-grade students were proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to 20.3% in the district and 34.6% statewide.

Interestingly, when comparing Hafen Elementary to other nearby schools in the Nye district, some patterns emerge. While other low-performing schools like Manse Elementary and J.G. Johnson Elementary suggest broader challenges in the district, the proximity of Floyd Elementary, which has significantly higher test scores and a 3-star rating, indicates that location alone does not fully explain the performance differences. Hafen Elementary's high spending per student, ranging from $11,600 to $13,247 in recent years, also suggests that factors beyond just funding may be contributing to the academic struggles.
