Summary
Floyd Elementary School is a PK–5 school in Pahrump, Nevada, serving 578 students as part of the Nye County School District, and it is the largest of the four nearby Nye elementary schools compared here. Every student qualifies for free or reduced-price lunch, a profile that nearby schools share, so economic need is a district-wide context rather than something that sets Floyd apart. In 2025–26, Floyd Elementary School ranked 197th out of 376 Nevada elementary schools — the 48th percentile, with a 2-star rating — essentially at the state median and consistently stronger than its own district.
The clearest story is that Floyd performs near the state average while its district lags. In 2025–26, all-grade math proficiency was 36.1% (district 22.9%, state 36.2%) and reading was 45.1% (district 35.6%, state 45.2%). Science is actually above the state line: 26.4% versus 25.5%. Among nearby schools, Hafen Elementary School is the closest peer — 199th, 47th percentile, also 2 stars — with slightly higher math and reading but far lower science (15.1% vs. 26.4%). Manse Elementary School (26th percentile) and J G Johnson Elementary School (16th percentile) trail well behind. Chronic absenteeism was 27.3%, better than Manse (34.5%), J G Johnson (31.6%), and the district (29.4%), though slightly above Hafen (26.8%) and the state (25.5%).
Some areas are worth watching. Third grade is Floyd's weakest spot — 34.4% in math and 36.7% in reading, both below the state's 46.7% and 44.4% — while 4th and 5th grade reading are relatively strong. Chronic absenteeism improved to 20.1% in 2024–25 before rising to 27.3% in 2025–26, and science has been volatile (14.4%, 26.8%, 26.4% across the last three years). The only available subgroup ranking is from 2017–18, when special education students ranked in the 16th percentile — old data, but a gap worth tracking. Class sizes (18.0 students per teacher) and per-student spending ($15,613) are competitive locally but not dominant. Overall, Floyd is a mid-pack, above-district school whose strengths are reading, science, and attendance.
