Summary
Abston Sandra B Elementary School is a PK–5 school in Las Vegas, Nevada, serving 726 students at 9950 W Tompkins Ave as part of the Clark County district. It is a consistently 3-star school, ranking 161st of 376 Nevada elementary schools (57th percentile) in 2025–2026, down modestly from the 65th percentile in 2021–2022. All students are reported as economically disadvantaged (100% free/reduced lunch), per-student spending has risen to $14,147, and the student–teacher ratio is a relatively favorable 15.4.
Academically, Abston is stronger than its district and state in the core subjects. In 2025–2026, math proficiency was 44.4% (vs. Clark County 33.8% and Nevada 36.2%) and reading was 53.2% (vs. 43.3% and 45.2%). Science, however, is a clear weakness: 10.5% proficiency, far below the district's 23.5% and the state's 25.5%, and the lowest among nearby schools reporting science scores. Nearby, Goolsby Judy & John L Elementary School posted 47.8%, Batterman Kathy L Elementary School 45.9%, and Berkley Shelley Elementary School 26.2%. Within grades, reading rises from 48.5% in 3rd grade to 60.0% in 5th, while math falls from 55.5% in 3rd to 38.0% in 5th. Compared with nearby schools, Abston is mid-tier in math and reading — ahead of Bendorf Patricia A Elementary School, Ober D'Vorre & Hal Elementary School and Christensen M J Elementary School, roughly even with Rogers Lucille S Elementary School, but behind Goolsby, Batterman, Berkley Shelley, Hayes Keith C & Karen W Elementary School, Bryan Roger M Elementary School and Doral Academy Saddle.
Chronic absenteeism is 28.8%, above the district's 27.0% and the state's 25.5%, though it has improved substantially from 41.4% in 2021–2022; higher-performing neighbors such as Goolsby Judy & John L Elementary School (15.7%) and Doral Academy Saddle (11.1%) have much lower rates. Notably, Doral spends far less per student ($8,077) with much larger classes (26.9 students per teacher) yet posts stronger results, though it serves a very different population. Overall, Abston is a stable, high-poverty school with respectable district- and state-level math and reading results and two clear improvement levers: science and attendance.
