Summary:
ZIP code 89147 in Las Vegas is home to seven elementary schools serving roughly 4,276 students — six PK–5 schools in the Clark County district and one K–8 charter, Doral Academy Saddle, overseen by State Sponsored Charter Schools.
Two schools stand well above the rest. Doral Academy Saddle leads the ZIP in every measure: 62.7% math, 70.8% reading and 45.4% science proficiency, with chronic absenteeism of just 11.1%. It ranks 42nd of 376 Nevada elementary schools and has held four stars for three straight years. Among district schools, Hayes Keith C & Karen W Elementary School is the only one above the state average in all three subjects, and its 5th grade science result of 43.4% is more than double the district and state figures. Kim Frank Elementary School is the most improved, climbing from the 37th to the 55th percentile, while Bryan Roger M Elementary School and Abston Sandra B Elementary School sit solidly in the middle of the pack, both at three stars.
Two schools raise concerns. Bendorf Patricia A Elementary School has the lowest math (32.4%) and reading (37.8%) here, the highest absenteeism (30.4%), and has stayed at two stars for three years; its science scores are suppressed by the state, so they are unknown rather than zero. Diskin P A Elementary School has slipped from three stars to two. Science is the neighborhood's weak spot — only Hayes beats the state's 25.5% among district schools. Notably, spending and class size do not predict results here: the two highest-spending schools rank near the bottom, while the lowest-spending school ranks first, and low absenteeism tracks most closely with higher achievement.
