Summary
Long Walter V Elementary School is a PK–5 school serving 697 students in Las Vegas, Nevada, as part of the Clark County School District, which ranks mid-pack in Nevada (5th of 12 districts, 58th percentile, 4 district stars). The school itself has ranked near the bottom of Nevada elementary schools in recent years: 355th of 376 ranked schools in 2025–2026 (6th percentile, 0 stars), a slight rebound from 374th of 379 (1st percentile) in 2024–2025, and far below its best recent showing of 26th percentile in 2022–2023. All students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, and 2023–2024 per-student spending was $15,080.
Against nearby full-size Clark County elementaries — Edwards Elbert Elementary School, Sunrise Acres Elementary School, Snyder William E Elementary School, Moore William K Elementary School, Dearing Laura Elementary School, Gragson Oran K Elementary School, and Beckley Will Elementary School — Long's 2025–2026 math proficiency of 22.4% is slightly above their average of about 21.7%, but its reading proficiency of 24.7% trails their average of about 27.6%. Reading is the clearer weakness: Long sits 18.6 points below the district and 20.5 points below the state in reading, versus 11.4 and 13.8 points in math. Chronic absenteeism was 30.0%, above the district's 27.0% and the state's 25.5%. Long also has the highest student–teacher ratio (18.8) and the lowest per-student spending ($15,080) among these full-size nearby schools.
Grade-level results are uneven. Fifth-grade math was 16.0%, the lowest result reported, while fifth-grade reading was 31.0%, the school's strongest reading result; fourth-grade reading (20.8%) was the weakest. Science proficiency is suppressed by the state at all grades, so it is unknown rather than a proven weakness. Attendance improved dramatically from 50.6% chronically absent in 2021–2022 to 25.1% in 2024–2025, then rose again to 30.0%. Historical subgroup data from 2017–2018, which may not reflect current performance, showed wide gaps for English learner, special education, and low-income students. Overall, Long is improving from a very low base, but that progress remains fragile.
