Summary

Scherkenbach William & Mary Elementary School is a public elementary school in Las Vegas, Nevada, serving grades PK-5 with an enrollment of 540 students. 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.

Scherkenbach William & Mary Elementary School consistently outperforms the Clark County and Nevada state averages in both mathematics and reading proficiency across all grade levels. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school had 56.1% of students proficient or better in SBAC/Mathematics, compared to 33% for Clark County and 35.4% for Nevada. In SBAC/Reading, the school had 64.8% proficiency, compared to 43.9% for Clark County and 45.6% for Nevada. However, the school has experienced relatively high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 14.2% to 31.3% over the past few years, which is an area of concern.
