Original Research by School Decision on Hill Charlotte Es
Hill Charlotte ES is a regular public elementary school in Las Vegas, Nevada, serving pre-kindergarten through fifth grade as part of the Clark County School District. It sits on East Eldorado Lane in the 89123 zip code, a residential stretch of the broader Las Vegas metro area.
The school serves roughly 500 students across its grade bands, with a fairly even spread from kindergarten through fifth grade alongside a smaller pre-kindergarten cohort. The student body is diverse in composition. Hispanic students make up the largest single group, followed by white students, then black students, and a meaningful share of students identifying as two or more races. Asian and Native Hawaiian or Pacific Islander students are present in smaller numbers, along with a very small number of American Indian or Alaska Native students. Every student at the school qualifies for free or reduced-price lunch, which reflects a community where economic need is the norm rather than the exception. Data on individualized education programs and English learner status was not reported, so those figures are not available here.
On state assessments, Hill Charlotte shows solid results. In math, just over half of tested students in grades three through five reached proficiency or above on the SBAC. In English language arts, the proficiency rate was slightly higher still. Science results, drawn from a smaller tested cohort, landed below the other two subjects, and a parent may want to look into this further with the school. Participation was 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 reported data.
The surrounding housing market gives a sense of what families face when moving into this area. Home values in the zip code sit in a moderate range for the Las Vegas metro, slightly below the state benchmark and above the national one. Both home values and rents have edged downward modestly over the past year. Rents remain affordable relative to local incomes, and renting is meaningfully cheaper month to month than carrying a mortgage at current rates, given a thirty-year fixed rate near its recent levels. For families considering buying, the price-to-income ratio is on the higher side, which is typical for much of the Las Vegas area. Median household income nationally has been rising steadily, but the local market still reflects the pressure of elevated borrowing costs.
A few things parents should know about what is and is not available in this data. No locale brief was provided for the immediate neighborhood, so details about nearby amenities, transit, or community character are not included here. The district brief searched for recent Clark County School District changes but found nothing focused on policy, curriculum, or tax matters with lasting parent impact. There is no comparison fact-set positioning Hill Charlotte against neighboring schools or districts, so a relative read on performance is not possible from this data. Information on staffing ratios, disciplinary practices, attendance patterns, course offerings, and Title I status was either missing or not reported, and magnet or charter designations do not apply. Civil rights data was also absent.
What the available picture does show is a school where most tested students are meeting state standards in the core subjects, with ELA and math standing out as relative strengths and science as an area to watch. The universal free or reduced-price lunch rate tells a clear story about the community the school serves, and the diversity of the student body is a plain characteristic of the environment rather than a positive or negative one. For a family weighing this school, the academic results are reason for cautious confidence at the elementary level, and the gaps in the data are worth asking about directly.
