Summary:
ZIP code 89178 is home to five elementary-level schools serving 3,616 students: four PK–5 schools in Clark County and one K–8 charter, Doral Academy Cactus, in State Sponsored Charter Schools. The two largest — Doral (998 students) and Thompson Tyrone Elementary School (916) — hold about 53% of the group's enrollment.
Doral Academy Cactus is the clear standout: 5 stars, 35th of 376 schools (91st percentile), the highest math (67.4%), reading (74.0%) and science (45.6%) proficiency, and the lowest chronic absenteeism at 11.0%. Its free/reduced lunch rate is 17.94% versus 100% at all four Clark schools, and it spends the least per student ($8,990) with the largest classes (23.2 students per teacher). Because it is a K–8 charter, some all-grade comparisons are not apples-to-apples — its strong middle-grade results lift its averages, and its 5th-grade science (26.3%) is close to the Clark schools'. Among traditional Clark schools, Thompson Tyrone Elementary School leads with 4 stars, rank 55 of 376, and the best Clark math (60.3%) and reading (69.2%), improving from 81 to 55 over three years.
Forbuss Robert L Elementary School (3 stars, 124th) and Reedom Carolyn S Elementary School (3 stars, 138th) are mid-pack; Forbuss dropped from 4 to 3 stars, while Reedom has the highest absenteeism (25.0%) and lowest science (13.5%). Wright William V Elementary School is the lowest performer at 2 stars, 222nd of 376, with math (34.8%) and reading (41.4%) below the state; its science results are suppressed. Reading beat math at every school, science was the weakest subject area, math declined from 3rd to 5th grade everywhere, and all five schools came in below the state's 25.5% chronic absenteeism rate.
