Original Research by School Decision on Eisenberg Dorothy Es
Eisenberg Dorothy Elementary sits on Delhi Avenue in the northwest reaches of Las Vegas, serving students from prekindergarten 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 the surrounding residential neighborhoods of a fast-growing metropolitan area.
The school enrolls a moderately sized student body for an elementary campus, with every grade from prekindergarten through fifth represented. Its student population is majority Hispanic, with white, Black, and multiracial students forming the next largest groups, alongside smaller Asian and Native Hawaiian or Pacific Islander populations. The entire student body qualifies for free or reduced-price lunch, which marks Eisenberg Dorothy as a school serving an economically disadvantaged community. Data on students with individualized education programs and English learners was not available in the sources we reviewed, so we cannot characterize those populations here.
On Nevada's SBAC assessments for the most recent reported year, Eisenberg Dorothy posted mixed results across subjects. In English language arts, a slim majority of tested students reached proficiency, which sits above what many similar high-poverty elementary schools achieve and represents a clear strength for the school. Math proficiency landed below that of ELA, with somewhat fewer than half of tested students meeting the state's proficiency bar. Science results were the softest area, with only a small fraction of the tested grade reaching proficiency. A parent looking closely at the science numbers may want to ask the school how science instruction is structured and what supports are in place for that subject. Participation rates were strong across all three subjects, which means nearly all enrolled students in tested grades sat for the exams.
We looked for multi-year trend data to see whether these proficiency levels represent improvement, stability, or decline, but the source did not provide comparable prior-year figures. This means we cannot say whether performance is moving in a particular direction. The school's average scale scores were also missing, so the picture is limited to proficiency rates alone.
The housing market around Eisenberg Dorothy reflects the broader Las Vegas metro pattern. Typical home values in the school's zip code sit close to the state benchmark, and both have eased slightly over the past year. Rents are modest relative to the mortgage a buyer would face at current interest rates, which makes renting the more affordable option in this area by a meaningful margin. For a family considering a move into the attendance zone, the cost of ownership remains elevated against national norms, but rental housing here is relatively accessible, with rent taking up a manageable share of typical household income.
Information on school-level staffing ratios, course offerings, discipline data, attendance rates, and Title I status was not available in the provided data, so those aspects of the school environment cannot be characterized here. We also searched for recent Clark County School District policy or curriculum changes that might affect families at this school, but the available material did not surface any district-level developments of that kind.
What the data does show is an elementary school with a real strength in literacy, a middling result in math, and a clear area of concern in science, all within a community where economic need is pervasive. Families weighing Eisenberg Dorothy would do well to ask about science instruction, available interventions, and any enrichment or support programs that the school offers but that did not appear in our sources. The literacy results suggest the school is doing something right in reading, and that may be a productive starting point for a conversation with school leadership.
