Summary:
ZIP code 89104 in Las Vegas contains five public elementary schools — Long Walter V Elementary School, Snyder William E Elementary School, Crestwood Elementary School, Park John S Elementary School, and Wengert Cyril Elementary School — all part of the Clark County school district and all serving grades PK–5. Together they enroll 2,998 students, with school sizes ranging from 513 at Wengert to 697 at Long. All five report 100% free/reduced lunch participation, so economic need looks the same across the group and does not distinguish one school from another.
Crestwood is the standout. It has the highest math (41.1%) and reading (41.5%) proficiency in the area, the lowest chronic absenteeism at 14.6%, and the best statewide ranking at 196 of 376 (48th percentile, 2 stars). It is the only school here above district and state math averages. Wengert is second in math at 33.1%, essentially matching the district, with strong 4th grade results, but its reading dropped sharply from 46.1% to 37.4% year over year. Snyder, Long, and Park remain below district and state averages in most measures. Long has the largest enrollment, the highest student/teacher ratio (18.8), and the lowest math (22.4%) and reading (24.7%). Park has the highest per-student spending ($17,837) but also the highest absenteeism (35.3%).
Two patterns stand out. First, 5th grade math is a consistent weak spot: across all five schools it ranges from 16.0% to 27.7%, with every school below the district (32.2%) and state (34.7%). Second, chronic absenteeism varies widely, from 14.6% at Crestwood to 35.3% at Park, and generally tracks with performance. Note that 2025–2026 science scores were suppressed for all five schools and are unknown, so they should not be read as zero. Spending and staffing levels do not show a simple relationship with outcomes.
