Summary

Williams Tom Elementary School is a PK–5 school in North Las Vegas, NV, serving 538 students in the Clark County School District, a mid-ranked Nevada district. Once near the state average in 2017–2018 and 2018–2019 (40th–45th percentile, 2 stars), Williams Tom Elementary School has declined sharply. In 2025–2026 it ranked 353rd of 376 Nevada elementary schools (6th percentile, 0 stars), after several years in the bottom 6–11%.

Academically, 2025–2026 SBAC proficiency is low: 21.3% in math, 25.7% in reading, and science is suppressed by the state, so it is unknown. Math is improving from a very low base, rising from 14.9% in 2023–2024 to 21.3% in 2025–2026, a two-year gain that outpaced the district and state, though the school remains far below both. Reading is stagnant and is now the larger weakness; 5th grade reading is 25.0%, compared with district 50.7% and state 52.7%. Nearby, Bracken Walter Elementary School scored 60.5% in reading and 54.0% in math, while Herron Fay Elementary School scored 35.0% and 33.2%. Squires C P Elementary School was close to this school in both subjects, and Lunt Robert Elementary School was lower.

Chronic absenteeism is a persistent concern: 28.0% in 2025–2026, above the district (27.0%) and state (25.5%), and far above Bracken Walter (8.4%) and Herron Fay (10.0%). The school reports 100% free/reduced lunch, and per-student spending was $16,402 in 2023–2024, with a student–teacher ratio of 16.3 in 2024–2025. Bracken Walter also reports 100% free/reduced lunch yet achieves much stronger outcomes with lower spending ($14,568) and a similar ratio (16.0), suggesting factors beyond poverty, spending, and class size may matter. Overall, the school is high-poverty and low-performing, with improving math but stagnant reading and attendance challenges.
