Ferron William E Elementary School

Summary:

Ferron William E Elementary School is a public elementary school in Las Vegas, Nevada, serving 588 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.

Ferron William E Elementary School faces several challenges, including lower test scores compared to the Clark County and Nevada state averages. In the 2023-2024 school year, the school's proficiency rates in mathematics and reading for all grades were 33.3% and 38%, respectively, compared to 30.1% and 39.3% for Clark County, and 32.6% and 41.3% for the state of Nevada. The school's statewide ranking has fluctuated over the years but has generally been in the lower half of Nevada elementary schools, ranking 204 out of 377 in the 2023-2024 school year with a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

However, the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio of 16.8 in the 2022-2023 school year may be a strength that could be leveraged to improve student outcomes. When compared to nearby schools, Dearing Laura Elementary School and Smith Hal Elementary School have significantly lower test scores and statewide rankings, while Tomiyasu Bill Y Elementary School and Ullom J M Elementary School have slightly higher performance but still lag behind the district and state averages. The analysis also includes two nearby charter schools, Mater Mountain Vista and Discovery Charter School Sandhill, which have significantly higher test scores and statewide rankings compared to Ferron William E Elementary School and the other nearby public schools.

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.

Open Quote Ms. Putnam, the vice principle, office staff and Ms. Kelly are one of the best teachers I have met so far. Can't say enough good things about them. They make the school a better place for students to thrive. Close Quote

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.
