Summary

Scherkenbach William & Mary Elementary School is a PK–5 school in Las Vegas, Nevada, serving 536 students at 9371 Iron Mountain Rd. as part of the Clark County School District.

The school's recent trajectory is strongly positive. In 2025–2026 it ranked 94th of 376 Nevada elementary schools — the 75th percentile, with 4 stars — a big jump from 44th percentile and 2 stars in 2020–2021, with a peak of 86th percentile in 2023–2024. Math proficiency is 54.6% and reading is 61.8%, both well above Clark County (33.8% and 43.3%) and state averages. Within its immediate same-district cluster, however, it sits mid-pack: it trails O Roarke Thomas Elementary School, Darnell Marshall C Elementary School, and Divich Kenneth Elementary School in both subjects, and is roughly even with Bozarth Henry & Evelyn Elementary School and Bilbray James Elementary School.

Science is the clearest weakness: 15.1% proficiency, below the district's 23.5% and the state's 25.5%, and the lowest among nearby same-district schools with reported scores — O Roarke Thomas Elementary School posts 59.3% and Darnell Marshall C Elementary School 42.0%. That gap is striking given that 5th grade reading is 71.0% in the same year. Chronic absenteeism is 17.3%, better than the district (27.0%) and state (25.5%), though Divich Kenneth Elementary School (13.8%) does better. Scherkenbach spends $14,788 per student with a 15.3 student-teacher ratio — favorable next to most nearby schools — but that resourcing edge has not yet produced top local results, especially in science.
