Original Research by School Decision on Roberts Aggie Es
Roberts Aggie Elementary sits on Charter Oak Street in Henderson, serving pre-kindergarten through fifth grade as part of the Clark County School District. It is a regular public school in Nevada's second-largest city, part of the Las Vegas Valley metro area. Henderson grew rapidly through master-planned communities like Green Valley, Anthem, and Inspirada. The surrounding built environment is largely car-dependent suburban development, connected by major highways to Las Vegas, with an extensive recreational trail system and many parks. Home values in the school's zip code sit above the national benchmark and have seen a recent modest decline, while rents remain comparatively more affordable than ownership costs.
The school serves a sizable elementary population across its grade bands. Every student qualifies for free or reduced-price lunch, which places Roberts Aggie among schools serving an economically disadvantaged community. The student body is predominantly Hispanic, with White and Black students forming the next largest groups, plus smaller populations of Asian, Native Hawaiian or Pacific Islander, and multiracial students. Data on English learners and students with individualized education programs was not reported, so those populations cannot be characterized here.
On Nevada's state assessments, which cover grades three through five at this school, English language arts was the strongest of the three subjects tested, with a moderate share of students reaching proficiency. Math proficiency was lower, with a smaller proportion of tested students meeting the bar. Science results were very low, though far fewer students were tested in science, which at this grade band typically reflects only fifth-grade participation. Participation rates were solid across all three subjects. No multi-year trend data was available, so there is no way to compare these results to prior years. A parent may want to look into science outcomes further with the school, given how low the results were even accounting for the smaller tested group.
The broader context is Henderson's growth and economic base. The city's largest single employer is its own government, with major private employers including Barclays, Amazon, Dignity Health, and the Las Vegas Raiders, who maintain their headquarters there. Google operates a data center campus in the city with publicly reported plans for further investment. Henderson has positioned itself around logistics, manufacturing, financial services, media and sports production, and back-office management, and publicly reported data indicates the city attracts more advanced industries per capita than the broader region, with higher rates of residents holding bachelor's and master's degrees.
The Clark County School District spreads schools across Henderson's many neighborhoods rather than concentrating them in a single downtown core. Henderson alone has many elementary schools feeding into middle and high schools across the district. We searched for recent district-level changes that would matter to parents but found little, so we left that out rather than guess.
For families considering this school, the academic picture is mixed. English language arts results are the relative bright spot, while math and especially science lag. The universal free-or-reduced-price lunch rate signals a school serving an economically disadvantaged population, which often correlates with the kinds of academic challenges visible in the assessment data. The school has no magnet or charter status, so placement follows standard zoning. Missing pieces include staffing ratios, discipline data, course access information, attendance patterns, and any specialized program offerings, none of which were available in the provided data. Without these, the school's support structure and enrichment opportunities are hard to assess from the outside. A family weighing this school would benefit from asking directly about interventions for math and science, available tutoring or after-school programs, and how the school supports its youngest learners in pre-kindergarten through second grade before state testing begins.
