Summary:
ZIP code 89130 in Las Vegas contains six elementary-level schools — four Clark County district schools and two State Sponsored Charter Schools — enrolling 2,577 students combined. Most serve PK–5, except Quest Academy Northwest, which is K–8, and Vegas Vista Academy, which is K–5 and the smallest school here at 121 students.
Neal Joseph M Elementary School and May Ernest Elementary School are the standouts: both earn 4 stars and rank in the top quarter of Nevada elementary schools. They beat district and state averages in math and reading, and Neal Joseph also beats state in science, with the lowest student-teacher ratio in the group at 13.4 and low chronic absenteeism of 22.0%; May Ernest sits at 26.0%, slightly better than the district's 27.0%. Carl Kay Elementary School is mixed — above district and state in math and reading, but far below both in science (15.9%) despite having the lowest absenteeism in the ZIP at 21.6%.
Quest Academy Northwest has improved steadily and posts reading (48.0%) and science (26.9%) above state, though math (31.2%) lags and absenteeism (26.3%) is high for a charter. Parson Claude & Stella Elementary School and Vegas Vista Academy trail well behind, with math of 14.6% and 12.6% and reading of 25.8% and 21.2%; Parson ranks at the 11th percentile with 1 star, Vegas Vista has no rank reported, and absenteeism runs 37.4% and 36.5%. Several values are suppressed (shown as —), so their full picture is unknown. Across the ZIP, science is the weakest subject, and higher spending does not guarantee better results — Parson spends the most at $18,187, while Quest spends the least at $8,857 and is improving.
