The top reported proficiency rate is 52% in English language arts. The lowest is 17% in Science.
Original Research by School Decision on Tobler R E Es
Tobler R E ES is a regular public elementary school in Las Vegas, serving pre-kindergarten through fifth grade. It operates within the Clark County School District. The school sits on Buckskin Avenue in a part of the Las Vegas valley where home values run below the Nevada state benchmark and modestly below the national benchmark. Home values in this area have been easing downward over the past year, and rents are modest by regional standards. For families weighing the cost of living, renting here runs cheaper each month than carrying a mortgage at current interest rates, which may matter to households deciding between buying and leasing.
The school enrolls a mid-sized elementary population. Its student body is predominantly Hispanic, with the next largest group being Black students, followed by smaller shares of white students and students of two or more races. Every student at Tobler qualifies for free or reduced-price lunch, which places the school in the category of serving a uniformly high-poverty population. Data on English learners and students with individualized education programs was not available, so those shares cannot be characterized here.
On state assessments through the SBAC, Tobler's results present a mixed picture. In English language arts, a slim majority of tested students in grades three through five reached proficiency or above. That represents the school's stronger subject area, and reading instruction appears to be where Tobler does its best work. In math, somewhat fewer than half of tested students met the proficiency bar, which sits below the ELA mark and suggests math is a softer area. A parent may want to look into how the school supports math instruction and intervention across the grade bands.
Science results are reported for a much smaller group, reflecting that only fifth graders typically sit for the science assessment in Nevada. The proficiency rate among those tested was low. With the tested group limited to a single grade, the figure should be read with that context rather than as a broad measure of the whole school. Still, a parent might reasonably ask the school about science instruction and whether it receives the same attention as reading and math.
Participation rates across all three subjects were strong, meaning nearly all eligible students took the assessments. No trend data was available, so it is not possible to say whether these results represent improvement, decline, or stability over time.
The school is neither a charter nor a magnet. Its Title I status was not reported in the available data, though the universal free-or-reduced-price lunch rate suggests the school likely operates under federal poverty-designation provisions. Information on discipline, course access, staffing levels, and attendance patterns was not provided, so those dimensions of school climate and resources cannot be described here. Program offerings were also not available, which means specialized academic, arts, or extracurricular programs cannot be characterized.
The Clark County School District encompasses the area where this school sits. The district brief did not surface any recent parent-relevant policy, curriculum, or budget changes, so there is nothing new to report on that front.
What the picture yields is an elementary school serving a high-poverty, majority-Hispanic community in a relatively affordable part of Las Vegas. Its reading results are the bright spot, math is middling, and science is a clear area of concern. Families considering Tobler would benefit from asking the school directly about its math and science instruction, what intervention supports exist, and how it communicates academic progress to parents throughout the year.
