Summary:
ZIP code 89029 has exactly one elementary school, Bennett William G Elementary School, serving grades PK–5 in Laughlin, NV, within the Clark County district. With 330 students, it is the only public elementary option in this ZIP code, so parents should evaluate it on its own record rather than by comparing it with other local elementary schools.
The school’s mixed profile includes a relative strength in chronic absenteeism: 24.0% in 2025–26, which is lower than the district’s 27.0% and state’s 25.5%. Academically, reading is the clearest challenge. All-grades reading proficiency is 30.8%, compared with 43.3% in the district and 45.2% statewide; third-grade reading is especially low at 25.4%, 19.0 points below the state. Math is closer to benchmarks: all-grades math is 32.2%, only 1.6 points below the district and 4.0 points below the state, while fourth-grade math is 39.2%, 4.2 points below the state. Science scores and some grade-level scores are suppressed, so those results are unknown.
Rank history has been volatile: the school was at the 12th percentile in 2023–24, 30th in 2024–25, and 24th in 2025–26, when it ranked 285 out of 376 with 1 star. From 2024–25 to 2025–26, all-grades math improved from 27.6% to 32.2%, but reading slipped from 32.0% to 30.8%. The school reports 100% free/reduced lunch eligibility in 2024–25, $21,088 per-student spending in 2023–24, and a 12.6 student-teacher ratio in 2024–25. Overall, the clearest positives are the lower chronic absenteeism rate and math being nearer to benchmarks; the biggest academic concern is reading, with the school’s 2025–26 rank in the bottom quartile.
