Summary

Hafen Elementary School is a PK–5 school in Pahrump, NV, in the Nye district, with 413 students. In 2025–26, it ranked 199th of 376 Nevada elementary schools — 47th percentile, 2 stars — a clear rebound from 2024–25 and its highest percentile since 2017–18. Its 2025–26 proficiency rates are 38.1% Math, 47.5% Reading, and 15.1% Science; Math and Reading are above both district and state averages, while Science is well below the state average and is the school’s clearest academic weak point.

Compared with nearby schools, Hafen and Floyd Elementary School are the local leaders in overall rank. Hafen edges Floyd in all-grade Math and Reading, but Floyd is far ahead in Science — 26.4% vs. 15.1%. Manse Elementary School and J G Johnson Elementary School trail Hafen in every reported tested area, though J G Johnson’s Science value is state-suppressed and should be treated as unknown, not zero. Hafen also has the smallest enrollment, the lowest student–teacher ratio (16.5), and the highest per-student spending ($16,583 in 2023–24) among these nearby schools. Its chronic absenteeism is 26.8%, lower than the district’s 29.4% and all nearby peers, though slightly above the state’s 25.5%. Attendance improved from 36.2% in 2021–22 to 22.6% in 2024–25 before ticking up in 2025–26. All nearby schools report 100% free/reduced lunch.

Grade-level results show strong 3rd grade but weaker upper grades. In 2025–26, 3rd-grade Math was 49.2% and Reading was 62.5%, both above state rates; 4th-grade Math (34.9%), 4th-grade Reading (40.9%), 5th-grade Math (30.3%), and 5th-grade Reading (39.3%) were below state, with 5th-grade Reading also below district. Fifth-grade Science was 15.1%, below the state’s 17.4% and tied with the district. Floyd outperforms Hafen in 4th-grade Math and Reading, 5th-grade Reading, and 5th-grade Science, suggesting Hafen’s early-grade instruction is a strength while upper-grade reading and science need attention. Historical subgroup rankings from 2017–18 are dated and should not be used to judge current performance. Overall, Hafen is improving and locally competitive, with strong early-grade results, better attendance than many peers, and favorable class sizes and spending; its main challenges are Science, upper-grade Math/Reading, and the recent absenteeism uptick.
