Summary

Woolley Gwendolyn Elementary School is a public elementary school in Las Vegas, Nevada, serving 707 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Clark County School District, which is ranked 5th out of 12 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. However, Woolley Gwendolyn Elementary has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past decade, dropping from 140th out of 351 Nevada elementary schools in 2016-2017 to 321st out of 379 in 2024-2025, with a consistent 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Academically, Woolley Gwendolyn Elementary consistently underperforms compared to the Clark County and Nevada state averages in both mathematics and reading proficiency across all grade levels. In 2024-2025, only 18.7% of students were proficient or better in mathematics, compared to 33% for Clark County and 35.4% for the state. Similarly, in reading, the school's proficiency rate of 31.5% lags behind the county (43.9%) and state (45.6%) averages. Additionally, Woolley Gwendolyn Elementary has struggled with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 25.6% to 31.6% over the past few years, significantly higher than the state average.

When compared to other nearby elementary schools, such as Herron Fay Elementary and Tate Myrtle Elementary, Woolley Gwendolyn Elementary generally performs worse academically. For instance, in 2024-2025, the school's mathematics proficiency rate of 18.7% lags behind Herron Fay Elementary (31.9%) and Tate Myrtle Elementary (38.2%). The high percentage of students from low-income families and the school's location in a high-poverty area of Las Vegas may contribute to the challenges faced by Woolley Gwendolyn Elementary, and targeted interventions to address chronic absenteeism and support for underperforming student subgroups could be crucial in improving the school's overall academic performance.
