Summary

Stanford Elementary School is a public elementary school in Las Vegas, Nevada, serving 498 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Clark County School District, which is ranked 5 out of 12 in the state and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. However, Stanford Elementary has struggled in recent years, ranking between 176 and 292 out of 324 to 388 Nevada elementary schools, with a 1 to 3 star rating from SchoolDigger.

Stanford Elementary faces significant challenges, with consistently high chronic absenteeism rates ranging from 16.5% to 31.3%, well above the state and district averages. Academically, the school's performance, as measured by SBAC test scores, is below the state and district averages across all grade levels and subjects. For example, in 2024-2025, only 33.1% of students were proficient or better in Math, compared to 33% for the district and 35.4% for the state. Additionally, 100% of Stanford Elementary's students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high-poverty student population. Despite increased per-student spending, from $10,634 in 2018-2019 to $14,508 in 2021-2022, the school has struggled to translate this into improved outcomes for students.

When comparing Stanford Elementary to other nearby schools in the same district, it performs worse than Keller Charlotte & Jerry Elementary and Rundle Richard Elementary across most academic metrics. However, it outperforms the lower-performing Earl Ira J Elementary and Lynch Ann Elementary. Interestingly, the public charter school Mater Bonanza, located less than a mile from Stanford Elementary, significantly outperforms the school across all academic measures, despite serving a similar high-poverty student population.
