Summary

Gehring Roger D Academy of Science & Technology Elementary School is a PK–5 school in Las Vegas, NV, serving 648 students as part of the Clark County school district. Its district ranks 5th of 12 in Nevada (58th percentile, 4 stars), but the school itself is one of the strongest in the state: in 2025–2026 it ranks #2 of 376 Nevada elementary schools, at the 99th percentile with 5 stars. It has held that #2 statewide rank for three straight years, after ranking #5 in 2022–2023 and #20 in 2021–2022.

In 2025–2026, 80.5% of students were proficient in math, 82.9% in reading, and 63.8% in science — roughly 44–47 percentage points above the state in math and reading, and about 38 points above in science. Gehring leads every nearby school in all three subjects: math 80.5% versus Coral Academy Tamarus at 75.4%, Pinecrest Academy of Nevada St Rose at 69.9%, and Wolff Elise L Elementary School at 68.6%. Reading is 82.9%, essentially tied with Coral’s 82.8%, and science is 63.8% versus Pinecrest’s 57.8%, while most nearby district schools fall in the 13–37% range. Fourth-grade math reaches 91.5%.

Chronic absenteeism is only 5.0%, compared with 27.0% in the district and 25.5% statewide — the lowest of the comparison group. Gehring gets these results with a student-teacher ratio of 17.5, higher than every nearby district school in the comparison set, and per-student spending of $14,925 in 2023–2024, mid-to-high among district peers. Reported free/reduced lunch is 100% in recent years, a high-poverty context, yet results exceed nearby charters reporting 29.23% and 28.28%. Historical 2017–2018 subgroup ranks show the 99th percentile for English learners, 97th for low-income students, and 96th for students in special education. Note that Hummel John R Elementary School’s science values are suppressed by the state and should not be read as zero, the 2024–2025 absenteeism figure is not shown, and the subgroup data are historical.
