Guy Addeliar D III Elementary sits on La Madre Way in North Las Vegas, serving pre-kindergarten through fifth grade as a regular public school in the Clark County School District. The enrollment is moderate for an elementary campus, and every student qualifies for free or reduced-price lunch, which marks this as a school serving an economically disadvantaged community. The student body is predominantly Hispanic, with a sizable Black population and smaller groups of white, multiracial, and Asian students. Data on individualized education programs and English-learner status was not available, so those pieces of the student profile remain unknown here.
On the most recent state assessments, the school posted middling results in English language arts and math, with a larger share of students reaching proficiency in ELA than in math. Both subjects landed in a range that suggests some students are meeting grade-level benchmarks while many are not. Science results were notably weaker, with only a small fraction of tested students demonstrating proficiency. Participation was strong across all three subjects. Average scale scores were not reported, and no multi-year trend data was available, so it is not possible from this data to say whether performance is improving, declining, or holding steady. A parent weighing this school may want to ask the administration directly about year-over-year trends and what supports are in place for science instruction, since the current proficiency figure is low and the data alone does not explain why.
North Las Vegas is a suburban city within the Las Vegas metropolitan area, and its character shapes what life around this school looks like. The city blends master-planned residential communities such as Aliante and Eldorado with large industrial and warehouse-distribution corridors. There is no traditional downtown center; instead, civic life is distributed across parks, libraries, and recreation centers spread through different neighborhoods. The built environment is predominantly car-dependent, with separated campuses rather than a walkable core. Publicly reported sources note that the city has invested in a network of paved regional trails along the Las Vegas Wash, connecting to a broader Southern Nevada trail system, and that parks with water amenities and recreation centers serve as community gathering points.
The local economy has historically been anchored by manufacturing, industrial, and warehouse-distribution employers, with Nellis Air Force Base and the Department of Energy Nevada Test Site as longstanding presences. In recent years, companies such as Amazon and Sephora have opened large fulfillment and distribution centers, and firms in solar, green technology, and aerospace have moved in. The U.S. Census Bureau has listed North Las Vegas and the broader Las Vegas metro among the fastest-growing regions in the country. Home prices in the area have roughly doubled over the past several years, according to publicly reported sources. The housing market near the school shows typical single-family values in a range that sits below the state benchmark but above the national one, with rents modestly lower than what a monthly mortgage would cost. Both home values and rents have seen slight recent declines year over year. For a family considering this area, renting may be more accessible than buying at current mortgage rates, though the gap between the two is not enormous.
The school's parent district, Clark County School District, is one of the largest in the nation, operating across the entire Las Vegas Valley rather than tied to a single community. We searched for recent district-level policy, curriculum, or budget changes that would matter to parents and found little in the available results, so we left that out rather than guess.
What the data paints overall is a school in a fast-growing, working-class suburban corner of the Las Vegas Valley, serving a community where nearly every family meets income-eligibility thresholds for lunch support. Academic results are mixed, with reasonable ELA and math outcomes and a science score that stands out as low. Families considering this school would benefit from asking staff about science instruction, academic trend data, and what intervention or enrichment programs exist, since the available data does not fill in those details.
