Red Rock Elementary School sits on Upland Boulevard in Las Vegas, serving pre-kindergarten through fifth grade as a regular public school within the Clark County School District. It is a neighborhood elementary with a sizable enrollment for its grade band, spread across early childhood classes and the upper elementary grades.
The student body is predominantly Hispanic, with a substantial Black population as well. Smaller groups of students identifying as two or more races, Asian, white, Native Hawaiian or Pacific Islander, and American Indian or Alaska Native round out the enrollment. Every student at Red Rock qualifies for free or reduced-price lunch, which means the school operates in a context of universal economic need. This is a defining characteristic of the community the school serves and shapes the resources and attention families can expect to be directed toward basic supports. We looked for data on English learners and students with individualized education programs, but neither was reported, so those population sizes are not something we can speak to from the available information.
On state assessments, Red Rock's results are low across the board. In math, roughly a quarter of tested students reached proficiency. In English language arts, the proficient share was slightly lower. Science was weaker still, with only a handful of tested students clearing the proficiency bar. Participation was strong, so the results are not a product of students sitting out the tests. These numbers reflect a school where most students are not yet meeting grade-level expectations, and a parent considering Red Rock may want to look into how the school is responding, what intervention and tutoring structures exist, and how growth is tracked for individual children. We did not have multi-year trend data available, so it is not possible to say from the provided information whether proficiency is improving, holding steady, or declining over time.
Because Red Rock is an elementary school, there is no graduation rate to report and no high school course catalog or dual-credit pathway to describe. Those measures simply do not apply to a school serving pre-kindergarten through fifth grade. We also did not receive data on staffing ratios, discipline, attendance, or program offerings, which leaves a gap in understanding the day-to-day environment beyond what test scores can show. The school's Title I status and magnet designation were not specified in the data, though the universal free-or-reduced-price-lunch figure suggests the school almost certainly operates with federal poverty-support funding.
The housing market around Red Rock's zip code is modest by Las Vegas-area standards. Typical home values sit below the statewide benchmark, and they have softened recently. Rents are also below the state level and have nudged upward. For families weighing whether to buy or rent in this neighborhood, renting comes out meaningfully cheaper than carrying a mortgage at current rates. The estimated monthly cost of ownership, assuming a standard down payment, exceeds typical rent by a few hundred dollars. That gap may matter to families on tight budgets who want access to this school's zone without taking on the full cost of homeownership.
We searched for recent district-level policy or curriculum changes that might affect families at Red Rock, but the available results did not surface anything specific to Clark County School District's priorities, budget shifts, or academic initiatives. The search returned general information about county governance rather than school district decisions with lasting parent impact, so we are leaving that section out rather than guessing.
Red Rock is a school serving a community where economic disadvantage is the norm, where state test results indicate most students are below proficiency, and where housing costs, while lower than much of the metro, still favor renters over buyers. Families drawn here, or assigned here by zoning, will want to ask the school directly about academic interventions, English learner services if applicable, and what the classroom experience looks like beyond what the proficiency data captures.
