Summary:
The city of Bunkerville, Nevada has only one public elementary school, Bowler Joseph L Elementary School, which serves grades PK-5 with an enrollment of 471 students. The school's performance, as measured by standardized test scores, is consistently below the averages for Clark County and the state of Nevada.
Bowler Joseph L Elementary School's proficiency rates in SBAC Mathematics and Reading for all grades are lower than the district and state averages. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, the school's proficiency rate in SBAC Mathematics was 28.6%, compared to 30.1% for Clark County and 32.6% for Nevada. The school also has a high percentage of students from low-income families, with a 100% free and reduced lunch rate.
Additionally, the school's statewide ranking has declined over the past three school years, from 314th out of 380 Nevada elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 244th out of 377 in 2023-2024. While the school spends more per student ($14,239) than the national average of around $12,000, this higher spending has not translated into improved academic performance. These findings suggest the need for further investigation and targeted interventions to address the challenges faced by Bowler Joseph L Elementary School and improve student outcomes.
