Summary

Staton Ethel W Elementary School is a PK–5 school serving 695 students at 1700 Sageberry Dr in Las Vegas, NV 89144, part of the Clark County School District. For 2025–2026 it ranks 51st of 376 Nevada elementary schools — 86th percentile, 4 stars — with 63.1% of students proficient in math and 68.2% in reading, roughly 25–29 points above district and state averages. Chronic absenteeism is 14.9% versus 27.0% district-wide, per-pupil spending is $12,674, and the student-teacher ratio is 16.5-to-1.

Context matters: Staton Ethel W Elementary School sits in an unusually strong cluster. Nine other Clark County elementaries plus one charter lie within about four miles, and Staton ranks 5th of 10 locally — strong overall, mid-pack for its neighborhood, behind Vassiliadis Billy & Rosemary Elementary School (99th percentile), Givens Linda Rankin Elementary School (95th), Bonner John W Elementary School (95th) and Piggott Academy Elementary School (91st). Science is the clearest gap: at 28.0%, Staton is only 2.5 points above the state and below its local peer average — the one subject where it looks average rather than elite. Attendance, though far better than the district's, is only average locally. And Staton spends about $1,400 less per student than the local average, yet outperforms the higher-spending schools nearby.

One trend to watch: Staton spent seven straight years in the 93rd–96th percentile statewide but has drifted to 91st, 89th and now 86th, while Piggott Academy Elementary School moved the opposite way (82 → 86 → 91). Its proficiency hasn't collapsed — it bounces within a band — so the slide is relative to a rising neighborhood. Results also split by grade: 5th-grade math (54.5%) is the weakest spot, down 14.4 points from 3rd grade, while reading rises. Strengths include class sizes improved to 16.5-to-1 from 19.9, math and reading far above district and state, and a strong historical record with special education students and other groups. Overall: a very good school in a very competitive neighborhood, with science and upper-grade math the questions to ask.

Staton was a great school, maybe. we are there now in the second year. It's utter crap. Administration is rude and self-absorbed. Parking and traffic is dangerous and hopeless. But worse of all, most of the teachers can hardly care to do a least a fair job of teaching their pupils. The principal is leaving this year, so thats a good thing, I guess the new one could only do a better job. So don't put your child in their hands, leave this school be. Close Quote
