Summary

Crestwood Elementary School is a PK–5 public school at 1300 Pauline Way in Las Vegas, serving 551 students in the Clark County School District, where 100% of students have been eligible for free or reduced-price lunch in each of the last three reported years — meaning essentially the entire student body is economically disadvantaged.

For 2025–26, Crestwood ranks 196th of 376 Nevada elementary schools (48th percentile, 2 stars) — right at the state median. That is a major improvement: the school was in the 4th percentile in 2020–21 and has climbed in five of the last six reported years, returning to roughly where it stood in 2017–18. Among Clark County elementaries within about 1.5 miles, it is the clear leader — its rank is 121 places above the next-best district peer, Lake Robert E Elementary School (317th). Crestwood students are proficient at 41.1% in math and 41.5% in reading, roughly double the math proficiency of nearby schools such as Dearing Laura Elementary School (14.4%) and Sunrise Acres Elementary School (19.1%). Math is above both state and district averages; reading still trails the state by 3.7 points, though that gap has shrunk from 16.5 points four years ago.

Attendance is the standout: chronic absenteeism is 14.6%, below the district and state and less than half the rate of every same-district neighbor (next best is Hewetson Halle Elementary School at 22.3%). Grade-level results are uneven — 3rd-grade math (56.0) and 5th-grade reading (54.2) are the strongest in the peer group, while 5th-grade math (21.4) and 4th-grade reading (31.1) lag. About a mile away, Strong Start Academy, a State Sponsored Charter Schools campus with the same 100% free/reduced lunch population, ranks 28th of 376 with comparable class sizes — evidence that Crestwood still has room to grow. Science results for Crestwood and its neighbors are suppressed by the state for privacy.
