Original Research by School Decision on Earl Marion B Es
Earl Marion B ES is a regular public elementary school in Las Vegas, part of the Clark County School District, serving students from prekindergarten through fifth grade. It sits on West Reno Avenue in a part of the Las Vegas metro area where home values run below both the Nevada and national benchmarks. The local housing market has softened recently, with both home values and rents declining year over year. For families weighing renting against buying, renting currently costs less per month than carrying a mortgage in this zip code, a dynamic that reflects the broader interest-rate environment.
The school's enrollment is moderate for an elementary campus, with fairly even distribution across the grade levels. Every student qualifies for free or reduced-price lunch, which marks this as a school serving an economically disadvantaged community. The student body is racially and ethnically diverse. Hispanic students make up the largest share, followed by Black students, with White students and students of two or more races forming smaller groups. There are also small populations of Asian and Native Hawaiian or Pacific Islander students. Data on English learner status and special education enrollment was not available, so those population details are not included here.
On state assessments, Earl Marion B ES shows mixed results. English language arts proficiency sits at a moderate level, with roughly half of tested students meeting or exceeding standards. Math proficiency is lower, with roughly a third of tested students reaching proficiency. Science results are the weakest area, with a small fraction of tested students demonstrating proficiency. Participation rates are strong across all three subjects, which means the proficiency figures reflect nearly the full tested population. 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 provided.
The school does not have charter or magnet status. Title I status was not reported in the available data, though the universal free or reduced-price lunch rate suggests the school likely qualifies for federal Title I support. Information on discipline, course access, staffing ratios, and attendance was not available. Program offerings were also not provided, so families interested in before- or after-school programs, extracurriculars, or specialized academic supports would need to contact the school directly.
The Clark County School District is a very large district, and the district brief did not surface any recent policy, curriculum, or funding changes with direct parent impact. The search returned results focused on county government structure rather than school district operations, so there is little to report here. A parent looking for district-level strategic priorities or recent initiatives would need to consult the district directly.
The broader economic context includes a national unemployment rate that has held steady, and median household income that has grown modestly in real terms over recent years. Mortgage rates remain elevated relative to the pre-pandemic period, which continues to shape housing affordability for families in this area. The cost of shelter as measured by the Consumer Price Index has been rising gradually, though the local rental market shows some softening.
For a family considering Earl Marion B ES, the academic picture is one of a school where reading outcomes are stronger than math, and where science is an area of particular concern. The universal economic need of the student population means the school is serving a community where many families face financial pressure, and the instructional challenges that come with that reality are part of the context. The strong participation rate on state tests suggests the school is engaged with assessment and accountability. Parents may want to look into what supports and interventions the school offers in math and science, and what the school's own improvement priorities are, since trend data and program details were not available in the sources reviewed.
