Summary

William G. Conkwright Elementary serves 499 students in kindergarten through fourth grade in Winchester, in Clark County. Its 2025–2026 results vary by grade: third-grade reading is close to district and state results, but fourth-grade reading and science are much weaker. The clearest concern is fourth grade: reading proficiency was 23% and science was 22%, below every nearby school with a reported score in those subjects.

Third-grade reading is the school’s strongest comparison: 46% proficiency was 1 point above the district’s 45% and 3 points below the state’s 49%, though it was 9 points below the nearby-school average of 55%. Third-grade math was weaker, at 34%, compared with 39% in the district, 43% statewide and a nearby-school average of 46%. Fourth-grade reading was 23%, versus 39% in the district and 50% statewide; fourth-grade science was 22%, versus 33% and 40%. Nearby schools averaged 56% in fourth-grade reading and 47% in science, and Conkwright was below each nearby school with a reported result in both subjects. The latest fourth-grade math score is suppressed, so it cannot be compared.

Results are moving in different directions: third-grade reading rose 19 points, from 27% in 2022–2023 to 46% in 2025–2026, while fourth-grade reading fell 16 points, from 39% to 23%. Third-grade math also improved, rising 15 points from 2023–2024 to 2025–2026, while fourth-grade science stayed at 22% for three years. SchoolDigger ranks Conkwright at the 17th percentile statewide, with 1 star; its percentile has risen from 13 in 2023–2024 but remains well below 52 in 2018–2019. The 2024–2025 student-teacher ratio was 11.7, the lowest among nearby schools with data. In that same year, 72% of students were eligible for free/reduced lunch, the second-highest rate among nearby schools with the same measure. SchoolDigger’s measure of how well the school serves special education students fell from the 60th percentile in 2018–2019 to the 7th in 2025–2026, compared with an overall 17th percentile that year.
