Jeffers Jay W Elementary School

Summary:

Jeffers Jay W Elementary School is a public elementary school in Las Vegas, Nevada, serving 606 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Clark County School District, which is ranked 7th out of 13 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite the school's consistent efforts, Jeffers Jay W Elementary has consistently underperformed compared to district and state averages in both mathematics and reading proficiency. In the 2023-2024 school year, only 18.7% of students were proficient or better in mathematics, compared to 30.1% in the district and 32.6% statewide. Similarly, only 18.3% of students were proficient or better in reading, compared to 39.3% in the district and 41.3% statewide. The school has been ranked among the lowest-performing elementary schools in Nevada over the past several years, consistently ranking in the bottom quartile of schools statewide.

When comparing Jeffers Jay W Elementary to nearby schools within the same district, the school's performance is an outlier. For example, Bracken Walter Elementary School, located just 1.56 miles away, consistently outperforms Jeffers Jay W Elementary in both mathematics and reading proficiency. Despite the school's increased per-student spending, from $9,141 in 2019-2020 to $12,790 in 2021-2022, and a relatively low student-teacher ratio, the data does not indicate that these factors have had a positive impact on student achievement.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
