Summary

Edwards Elbert Elementary School is a PK–5 public school in the Las Vegas, NV area (89110) serving 535 students as part of the Clark County School District, which itself ranks 5th of 12 Nevada districts. The school serves a high-poverty population—100% of students were eligible for free/reduced lunch in each of the last three reported years—and it has ranked in the bottom quartile of Nevada elementary schools for the past decade, placing 301st of 376 (20th percentile, 1 star) in 2025–2026.

Academically, Edwards Elbert is below district and state averages: 25% proficiency in math and 32.1% in reading, compared with district rates of 33.8% and 43.3%. Science results were suppressed by the state, so they cannot be evaluated. Fourth grade is the clearest red flag, with 14.7% math and 21.5% reading—far below the school's own all-grades figures—while 3rd grade and 5th grade perform better, and 5th-grade reading (41.9%) is the school's strongest result. Among nearby Clark County schools, Edwards Elbert outperforms Earl Ira J Elementary School, Diaz Ruben P Elementary School, Gragson Oran K Elementary School, and Moore William K Elementary School, but trails Stanford Elementary School, Keller Charlotte & Jerry Elementary School, and Rundle Richard Elementary School, while Snyder William E Elementary School is mixed. The nearby charters Futuro Academy Elementary and Mater Bonanza outperform it in both subjects despite lower per-student spending.

Chronic absenteeism is a mixed picture: at 26.9% it sits near the district's 27.0% and above the state's 25.5%, and it is the highest among nearby district schools—but it has fallen sharply from 47.0% in 2021–2022, roughly a 20-point improvement. Math and reading proficiency have also risen since 2022–2023. Per-student spending is $16,170, mid-to-low among nearby schools, with a student-teacher ratio of 15.7. Older subgroup data from 2017–2018 suggests English learners performed comparatively better than other groups at the school, a possible starting point. The most urgent priorities appear to be 4th-grade instruction and continued attendance work.
