Original Research by School Decision on Hoggard Mabel Es
Hoggard Mabel ES is a regular public elementary school in the Clark County School District, serving pre-kindergarten through fifth grade on North Tonopah Drive in Las Vegas. It sits in a ZIP code where home values run below the Nevada statewide benchmark and below the national mark, and where both values and rents have been softening. For a family weighing the area, that means housing here is more affordable than much of the Las Vegas metro, though the price-to-income ratio remains elevated relative to national norms. Renting is comparatively easier to manage than buying at current mortgage rates.
The school's enrollment is mid-sized for an elementary campus. Its student body is majority Hispanic, with a substantial Black enrollment and smaller White, Asian, and multiracial populations. Every student qualifies for free or reduced-price lunch, which places the school firmly in a high-poverty context. Data on English learners and students with individualized education programs was not available, so those shares cannot be characterized here.
On state assessments, Hoggard Mabel shows solid results in the core academics that many parents watch most closely. In math, a majority of tested students reached proficiency on the SBAC, and in English language arts the proficient share was higher still. These are encouraging marks for a school where every student comes from an economically disadvantaged household. Science was a different picture, with a considerably smaller share of students reaching proficiency. A parent may want to look into this further with the school, particularly whether science instruction is getting the time and resources that math and reading receive. Participation was strong across all three subjects.
No multi-year trend data was available, so it is hard to say whether these results represent steady performance, recent improvement, or a dip. The district-level context offered little additional detail. The district brief search returned information about county governance rather than school district policy changes, curriculum shifts, or budget developments that would matter to parents. Clark County School District is a very large system, and this school's results should be read as one campus within it rather than as a district-wide pattern.
Several categories of information that parents often ask about were absent from the available data. There was no locale brief for the immediate neighborhood, so the character of the surrounding streets, nearby amenities, and commute context could not be included. No discipline, attendance, staffing, or course-access data was provided. The school is not a charter, and its magnet designation was not reported. Title I status was not reported either, though the universal free-or-reduced-price-lunch eligibility tells its own story about the economic context this school operates in. No programs data was available to describe extracurriculars, enrichment, or support services.
What the data does show is an elementary school where students are posting respectable proficiency rates in reading and math despite a student population where economic need is universal. Science is the area that stands out as softer. The housing market around the school is affordable by Las Vegas-area standards and has been easing, which may interest families looking for lower-cost entry points. Families considering this school would benefit from visiting and asking about science instruction, support services, and any enrichment offerings, since the public data does not cover those dimensions.
