Edwards Elbert Elementary School

Summary:

Edwards Elbert Elementary School is a public elementary school in Las Vegas, Nevada, serving 541 students from pre-kindergarten to 5th grade. The school is part of the Clark County School District, which is the 7th ranked district out of 13 in the state and is rated 3 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

Edwards Elbert Elementary School has consistently ranked in the bottom quarter of Nevada elementary schools, with significantly below-average performance on the Smarter Balanced Assessment Consortium (SBAC) tests in mathematics and reading. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 21.5% of students were proficient or better in mathematics, compared to 32.6% for the state and 30.1% for the Clark County district. The school's reading proficiency rate was also low, at 26.6%, compared to 41.3% for the state and 39.3% for the district. Additionally, the school has a 100% free and reduced-price lunch rate, indicating that all of its students come from low-income families.

Interestingly, some of the nearby charter schools, such as Futuro Academy Elementary, have higher academic performance, ranking in the middle of Nevada elementary schools. However, the nearby public schools, such as Gragson Oran K Elementary School, Earl Ira J Elementary School, and Stanford Elementary School, also have low academic performance, suggesting that the challenges faced by Edwards Elbert Elementary School may be shared by other schools in the area serving predominantly low-income communities.

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.
