Original Research by School Decision on Rundle Richard Es
Rundle Richard Elementary sits in the 89110 zip code of Las Vegas, a part of the Clark County School District. It is a regular public school serving pre-kindergarten through fifth grade. The enrollment is sizable for an elementary school, and every student qualifies for free or reduced-price lunch, which marks this as a campus serving an economically disadvantaged community. The student body is predominantly Hispanic, with a substantial Black population and small numbers of Asian, white, multiracial, Native Hawaiian or Pacific Islander, and American Indian or Alaska Native students. Data on English learners and students with individualized education programs was not reported, so those shares cannot be described here.
On Nevada's SBAC assessments for the most recent reported year, the school's proficiency results sit below what most parents would hope to see. In English language arts, roughly a third of tested students reached proficiency. In math, just under a third did. Science results were much lower, with only a handful of students demonstrating proficiency. Participation was strong across all three subjects, which means the results reflect nearly the full tested population rather than a skewed sample. Average scale scores were not available, so it is not possible to describe how close students overall came to the proficiency threshold. A parent considering this school may want to ask administrators what interventions and supports are in place, particularly in science, and how the school is working to lift math and reading outcomes.
No multi-year trend data was available, so there is no way to tell from the provided information whether proficiency is improving, declining, or holding steady. That gap matters for families trying to judge direction, and asking the school for its own internal trend data would be reasonable.
Information about the school's locale, staffing levels, course offerings, discipline data, and attendance patterns was not available in the data provided. Title I status was also not reported, though the universal free-or-reduced-price lunch rate strongly suggests the school operates under a similar federal designation. Without staffing figures, class sizes, or program details, the picture of day-to-day school environment remains incomplete.
The housing market around the school is relatively affordable compared with broader Nevada. Typical home values in this zip code sit well below the state benchmark and slightly below the national figure, and they have edged down modestly over the past year. Rents are also moderate. For a household weighing buying versus renting, the estimated monthly mortgage on a typical home here exceeds the typical rent by a meaningful margin, largely because of current mortgage rates in the mid-six range. Renting costs roughly a quarter of median household income, while buying would demand a larger share. This makes the area more accessible to renters than buyers at current rates.
As for the district context, a search for recent parent-relevant changes in the Clark County School District turned up little. Results focused on county geography and government structure rather than school-level policy, curriculum, referendum, or tax changes that would affect families. This means no district-level shift can be reported here, and a parent may want to check directly with the district for updates that the search did not surface.
What the data does show is a large elementary school in an affordable Las Vegas neighborhood, serving a community where every child comes from an economically disadvantaged household, with state test results that indicate real academic challenges. The school's participation rates are solid, which means the proficiency picture is an accurate one rather than an artifact of low turnout. Families looking at Rundle Richard should go in with eyes open about current proficiency levels and should ask direct questions about what the school is doing to improve them.
