West Prep Elementary School

Q: Is West Prep Elementary School a good school?

West Prep Elementary School ranks 156 th of 377 Nevada elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 3 stars out of 5.

Summary:

West Prep Elementary School is a public elementary school in Las Vegas, Nevada, serving 386 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Clark County School District, the 7th ranked district out of 13 in the state with a 3-star rating.

West Prep's academic performance, as measured by SBAC test scores, is generally lower than the Clark County and Nevada state averages across all grades and subjects. For example, in 2023-2024, the school's proficiency rates in mathematics (35.8%) and reading (45.7%) were below the county (30.1% and 39.3%) and state (32.6% and 41.3%) averages. West Prep's statewide ranking has fluctuated over the years, ranging from 72nd out of 332 Nevada elementary schools in 2013-2014 to 289th out of 380 in 2021-2022. The school's current ranking for the 2023-2024 school year is 156th out of 377 Nevada elementary schools, with a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While West Prep's performance is generally lower than the county and state averages, some nearby schools, such as Hoggard Mabel Elementary School and Toland Helen Anderson International Academy, demonstrate higher academic achievement, suggesting that there may be successful practices or strategies employed at these schools that could potentially be replicated at West Prep. Additionally, West Prep has a 100% free and reduced-price lunch rate, indicating a high concentration of students from low-income families, which likely plays a significant role in the school's academic performance and may require targeted interventions and support.

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.
