Lincoln Elementary sits on Berg Street in North Las Vegas, serving pre-kindergarten through fifth grade as part of the Clark County School District. It is a regular public school, neither a charter nor a magnet, drawing from a community that blends residential master-planned neighborhoods with industrial corridors.
The school's enrollment is large for an elementary campus, and its student body is predominantly Hispanic, with smaller Black, white, and multiracial populations. Every student qualifies for free or reduced-price lunch, which places Lincoln among the highest-need schools in the district. The data does not include English-learner or special-education counts, so those populations cannot be characterized here. Given the neighborhood profile and the universal free-lunch rate, a parent may want to ask the school directly about services for English learners and students with individualized education programs.
State assessment results from the most recent year show Lincoln performing below state norms across all tested subjects. In math, roughly a quarter of tested students reached proficiency. English language arts was slightly higher, with about a quarter of students proficient or above. Science results were lower still, with very few students meeting the bar. Participation was strong across all three subjects. Average scale scores were not reported. No multi-year trend data was available, so it is not possible to say whether these results represent an improvement or decline from prior years. A parent considering Lincoln may want to look into what academic interventions and supports the school has in place, particularly in science.
North Las Vegas itself is a suburban city in the Las Vegas Valley, historically rooted in manufacturing, warehouse distribution, and industrial work, with newer high-tech and green-energy employers moving in. The built environment is car-dependent, with master-planned communities like Aliante and Eldorado separated from industrial zones. Parks and recreation centers serve as community gathering points rather than a traditional downtown street life. The city maintains dozens of parks, several with water amenities, and a network of paved regional trails connecting to the broader Neon to Nature system. Three full-service libraries sit in different neighborhoods, each paired with nearby parks. Major employers range from Nellis Air Force Base to large Amazon and Sephora distribution facilities, and the Clark County School District itself is one of the largest employers in the county.
The housing market around Lincoln tells a story of rapid change. North Las Vegas has been among the fastest-growing areas in the country, with home prices reportedly doubling over the past several years. Current home values in the school's zip code sit well below the state benchmark but roughly in line with national figures, and they have dipped modestly over the past year. Rents have risen slightly. For families weighing buying versus renting, the monthly cost of owning exceeds renting in this area, and the price-to-income ratio sits above the national average, meaning homeownership here requires a larger share of income than in many parts of the country. Values are lower than much of Nevada, but incomes in this neighborhood may not keep pace with ownership costs.
The Clark County School District, which operates Lincoln, is one of the largest in the nation, spanning the entire Las Vegas Valley rather than tying itself to any single downtown or civic center. We searched for recent district-level changes that would matter to parents, such as policy shifts, curriculum updates, or funding decisions, but found little that rose to that level, so we left it out rather than guess.
Some data gaps reflect the nature of an elementary school. There is no graduation rate because Lincoln does not serve high school grades. There is no neighbor comparison or program listing in the data provided, so Lincoln cannot be positioned against nearby schools, and specific academic offerings, clubs, or extracurriculars are not described. Title I status was not reported, though given the universal free-lunch rate, federal poverty-related funding almost certainly applies. Discipline, staffing, and attendance data were also absent.
What the available picture shows is a large, high-poverty elementary school in a fast-growing, working-class suburb, with state test results that trail state averages and a community undergoing steady economic and housing change. Families for whom proximity, a known peer community, and connection to the broader Clark County system matter most may find Lincoln a practical fit. Those weighing academic outcomes as a primary factor may want to ask the school directly about its improvement plans, intervention programs, and what support structures exist for students working below grade level.
