The top reported proficiency rate is 40% in English language arts. The lowest is 10% in Science.
Original Research by School Decision on Kahre Marc Es
Kahre Marc ES is a regular public elementary school in Las Vegas, Nevada, serving pre-kindergarten through fifth grade. It operates within the Clark County School District. The school sits on West Gowan Road in a residential part of the Las Vegas metropolitan area.
The student body is predominantly Hispanic, with White and Black students forming the next largest groups. Smaller portions identify as Asian, American Indian or Alaska Native, Native Hawaiian or Pacific Islander, or multiracial. Every student at Kahre Marc qualifies for free or reduced-price lunch, which marks this as a school serving an economically disadvantaged community. Enrollment is moderate for an elementary school of this grade band. Data on students with individualized education programs and English learners was not available in the provided records, so those population details remain unclear.
On Nevada's state assessments for the most recent school year, Kahre Marc's results present a mixed picture. In English language arts, below half of tested students reached proficiency. Math landed in a similar range, just shy of the ELA figure. Science results were far lower, with only a small fraction of tested students meeting the bar. Participation rates were strong across all three subjects. No multi-year trend data was available, so it is not possible to say whether these results represent improvement, decline, or stability over time. Average scale scores were also missing from the data.
For a parent weighing these results, the reading and math proficiency levels sit below what many families would hope to see, though they are not uncommon for a high-poverty elementary school in a large urban district. Science is a particular soft spot. A parent may want to look into how the school approaches science instruction and what supports are in place for students in the tested grade. Without trend data, the direction of travel remains unclear.
The school carries no charter or magnet designation in the provided data. Title I status was not reported, though the universal free-or-reduced-price lunch rate strongly suggests the school receives federal Title I support, as is typical for schools with this economic profile. Information on discipline, course access, staffing levels, and attendance patterns was not available.
The surrounding housing market in the school's area shows conditions typical of Las Vegas. Home values sit above the national benchmark, though they have softened recently with a modest year-over-year decline. Rents have eased slightly as well. The estimated monthly mortgage payment runs meaningfully higher than local rents, reflecting elevated borrowing costs nationally. Renting in this area remains more affordable on a monthly basis than buying. The national unemployment rate has held steady at a relatively low level.
Clark County School District is the parent district. A search for recent district-level changes that would matter to parents, such as curriculum shifts, policy updates, budget decisions, or program launches, did not turn up specific findings. Results returned focused on county government and geography rather than school district operations, so there is little to report here that would help a parent understand the district's current direction or priorities.
Kahre Marc presents as a neighborhood elementary school serving a high-need community in Las Vegas. The academic results suggest a place where some students are reaching grade-level expectations in reading and math, but where many are not, and where science outcomes are a clear area of concern. Families considering this school would benefit from asking about academic intervention programs, teacher experience and retention, and what the school's improvement plan looks like, particularly for science instruction.
