Wengert Cyril Elementary School

Summary:

Wengert Cyril Elementary School is a public elementary school in Las Vegas, Nevada, serving 544 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Clark County School District, which is ranked 7th out of 13 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite increased per-student spending, Wengert Cyril Elementary has consistently underperformed compared to the Clark County and Nevada state averages in both mathematics and reading proficiency across all grade levels. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, the school's overall mathematics proficiency rate was 23%, compared to 30.1% for Clark County and 32.6% for the state. Similarly, the school's overall reading proficiency rate was 33.5%, compared to 39.3% for Clark County and 41.3% for the state. Wengert Cyril Elementary has a low statewide ranking, placing between 265th and 310th out of 324 to 384 Nevada elementary schools over the past several years, and has received a 1- or 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

When comparing Wengert Cyril Elementary to the nearby Mendoza John F Elementary, located just 0.69 miles away, it becomes evident that the school is underperforming academically. Mendoza John F Elementary outperformed Wengert Cyril in both mathematics and reading proficiency across all grade levels. The challenges faced by Wengert Cyril Elementary may not be solely due to resource constraints, as the school has maintained a relatively low student-teacher ratio, suggesting that other factors, such as curriculum, instructional practices, or school leadership, may be contributing to the academic struggles.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
