Summary

Ferron William E Elementary School is a PK–5 neighborhood school at 4225 El Oro Street in Las Vegas, serving 548 students in the Clark County School District, where every student qualifies for free or reduced-price lunch. That full economic-disadvantage profile is shared by every Clark County school in its comparison group, so it describes the neighborhood's context rather than setting Ferron apart from nearby schools.

Statewide, Ferron sits at the 48th percentile (2 stars) in 2025-26 — its best showing since 2018-19 and a big recovery from its pandemic low of 24th percentile in 2020-21. It leads its eight same-district neighbors in math, posting 38.8% proficient against a peer average of about 28% and a state average of 36.2%; it is the only one of those schools above the Nevada mark, while Smith Hal Elementary School trails at 14.5%. Reading is 44.2%, tied with Tomiyasu Bill Y Elementary School for tops among peers and above the district's 43.3%, though just under the state's 45.2%. Its standout result is attendance: chronic absenteeism of 14.6% is less than half the rate at Cunningham Cynthia Elementary School (41.0%) and Smith Hal Elementary School (41.2%), and down from 34.7% four years ago — only the nearby Mater Mountain Vista charter is slightly better, at 13.1%.

Achievement is trending up in both subjects, with math and reading each gaining about 10 points over four years, but proficiency is still roughly four students in ten. Two gaps stand out. Math holds near 44% in grades 3 and 4, then falls to 26.0% in 5th grade, while reading rises to 52.1%. Science was just 11.2% proficient in 2024-25, against 25% district and 27.2% state; the 2025-26 science figure is suppressed for privacy, so whether that gap has narrowed is unknown. Spending reached $17,436 per student in 2023-24, up 52% in three years, with a favorable 14.4 student-teacher ratio. Nearby charters Mater Mountain Vista and Discovery Charter School Sandhill post higher proficiency on roughly $8,600–$10,300 per student, though they serve different populations.

Ms. Putnam, the vice principle, office staff and Ms. Kelly are one of the best teachers I have met so far. Can't say enough good things about them. They make the school a better place for students to thrive. Close Quote
