Summary:
ZIP code 89145 in Las Vegas contains a single elementary school — Jacobson Walter Elementary School — serving PK through 5th grade with 494 students as part of Clark County schools. Because it is the only elementary school in this ZIP, there are no local peers to compare it against; the most useful benchmarks are the Clark County district, the state of Nevada, and the school's own past years.
Attendance is this school's clearest strength. In 2025–2026, chronic absenteeism was 16.8%, compared with 27.0% for the Clark County district and 25.5% statewide — roughly 10 percentage points better than the district and nearly 9 points better than the state. Grade 5 Reading is another bright spot at 46.1%, the highest subject/grade result in the file and only 4.6 points below the district and 6.6 points below the state. It is also 12.4 points above the school's own All Grades Reading score. Within Grade 5, however, Reading (46.1%) far outpaces Math (23.0%), a 23.1-point split. Context factors include 100% free/reduced lunch in 2024–2025, $15,736 per-student spending in 2023–2024, and an 18.2 student-teacher ratio in 2024–2025.
Academically, the school trails its benchmarks. In 2025–2026, All Grades Math was 25.9% versus 33.8% district and 36.2% state; All Grades Reading was 33.7% versus 43.3% district and 45.2% state — gaps of roughly 8 to 12 points. Grade-level gaps are widest in Grade 3 Reading (26.1%) and Grade 4 Math (25.0%), each 15–18 points below district and state. Both subjects also declined from 2024–2025, when Math was 31.5% and Reading 39.0%. Statewide, the school's rank has slipped from the 42nd percentile (2 stars) in 2023–2024 to the 35th percentile (2 stars) in 2024–2025 to the 20th percentile (1 star) in 2025–2026. Science results for All Grades and Grade 5 are suppressed by the state and cannot be evaluated.
