The top reported proficiency rate is 30% in English language arts. The lowest is 5% in Science.
Original Research by School Decision on Lake Robert E Es
Lake Robert E ES is a regular public elementary school in Las Vegas, serving pre-kindergarten through fifth grade as part of the Clark County School District. The school sits on Meteoro Street in a part of the Las Vegas metro area where home values and rents run well below both state and national benchmarks, and where the local housing market has softened recently. For families weighing the cost of living against school quality, this is an affordable neighborhood by Clark County standards, though declining home values suggest a community under some economic pressure.
The student body is predominantly Hispanic, with a substantial Black population as well. Smaller groups of students identifying as two or more races, white, and Asian round out the enrollment, and the school is large for its grade band. Every student qualifies for free or reduced-price lunch, which places this school firmly in a high-poverty context. Data on English learners and students with individualized education programs was not reported, so those population shares remain unknown. A parent whose child falls into either of those categories may want to ask the school directly about services and staffing, since the publicly reported figures do not cover them.
On state assessments administered under Nevada's SBAC system in the most recent school year, the school's results were modest. Roughly a quarter of tested students reached proficiency in math, and close to a third did so in English language arts. Science proficiency was markedly lower, with only a small fraction of tested students meeting the bar. Participation was strong across all three subjects, so the results reflect the bulk of eligible students rather than a skewed sample. Average scale scores were not available, which limits the picture to proficiency rates alone. No multi-year trend data was provided, so it is not possible to say whether these results represent improvement, decline, or stability over time.
Taken together, the academic results suggest a school where most students are not yet meeting grade-level benchmarks, particularly in science. This is a pattern commonly seen in schools serving high-poverty communities, though the data itself does not explain the causes. A parent considering this school may want to look into what academic interventions, tutoring, or extended-learning programs are available, and how the school communicates student progress to families throughout the year.
Information on staffing ratios, teacher experience, discipline practices, attendance rates, and course or program offerings was not available in the provided data, so those dimensions of the school environment cannot be assessed here. Title I status was also not reported, though the universal free-or-reduced-price lunch rate would typically align with such a designation. The school does not operate as a charter or magnet school.
At the district level, a search for recent parent-relevant changes in Clark County School District did not turn up specific policy, curriculum, referendum, or tax developments with lasting impact on families. The search results focused on county geography and government structure rather than school district actions, so there is little to report on that front.
In summary, Lake Robert E ES is a sizable, high-poverty elementary school in an affordable Las Vegas neighborhood, serving a predominantly Hispanic and Black student population. Its state assessment results show meaningful room for growth across all three tested subjects, with science standing out as a particular area of concern. Families drawn to this area by housing affordability should weigh that against the current academic picture and ask the school directly about its improvement efforts and available student supports.
