The top reported proficiency rate is 66% in English language arts. The lowest is 22% in Science.
Original Research by School Decision on Thompson Tyrone Es
Thompson Tyrone Elementary sits on the south side of Las Vegas, in the southwest reaches of the valley, serving pre-kindergarten through fifth grade as part of the Clark County School District. It is a regular public school, and its enrollment places it among the larger elementary schools in its area. The student body is racially diverse, with white and Hispanic students each forming the largest groups, followed by meaningful representation from Asian, Black, multiracial, and Native Hawaiian or Pacific Islander families.
Academically, the most recent state assessment results paint a clear picture. In English language arts, proficiency sits well above state expectations, and math results are similarly strong. Both subjects show the majority of tested students meeting or exceeding standards, with near-universal participation. Science tells a different story. Proficiency there is markedly lower, with only a small share of tested students reaching the proficient threshold. A parent considering this school may want to look into how science instruction is structured and supported, particularly given the gap between science results and the stronger reading and math outcomes.
Every student at Thompson Tyrone qualifies for free or reduced-price lunch, which reflects the economic composition of the surrounding community. The school's data does not include English learner or special education counts, so those dimensions of the student population are not visible here.
The housing market around the school's zip code has softened recently. Home values sit above the Nevada state benchmark but have declined over the past year, mirroring a broader cooling across the Las Vegas metro. Rents have held steadier, dipping only slightly. For families weighing a purchase against renting, the gap between an estimated monthly mortgage payment and rent is wide enough that renting remains the more affordable option in this area. The price-to-income ratio is elevated relative to national norms, meaning buying a home here demands a larger share of household income than in much of the country.
We looked for recent parent-relevant changes in Clark County School District, such as policy shifts, curriculum updates, or budget decisions, but the search returned county geography and government structure rather than school district specifics. We left that gap as-is rather than guess. No locale brief was available for the immediate area around the school, so we cannot speak to neighborhood-level character beyond what the housing data conveys.
Thompson Tyrone does not have graduation rate data, which is expected because it serves only elementary grades. There is no civil-rights reporting, staffing detail, course access information, attendance data, or discipline data in the available payload, and no program offerings were listed. Without trend data across multiple years, it is also not possible to say whether the current proficiency levels represent improvement, stability, or decline.
What the available evidence does show is an elementary school where reading and math outcomes are a clear strength, where the student population is diverse and comes from a community where nearly all families qualify for federal meal assistance, and where science is an area that stands apart from the otherwise solid academic results. Families drawn to a larger school with a mixed student body and strong literacy and numeracy results may find this fits, while those wanting to understand science instruction, special populations, or staffing will need to ask the school directly.
