Original Research by School Decision on Elizondo Raul P Es
Elizondo Raul P Elementary School sits on Goldfield Street in North Las Vegas, serving pre-kindergarten through fifth grade as part of the Clark County School District. It is a regular public school, not a charter or magnet, and its enrollment is mid-sized for an elementary campus in this area. Every student at the school qualifies for free or reduced-price lunch, which places it among the most economically disadvantaged campuses in the district and shapes much of what the school is asked to do day to day.
The student body is predominantly Hispanic, with a large Black enrollment as well, and smaller groups identifying as two or more races, white, Asian, Native Hawaiian or Pacific Islander, and American Indian or Alaska Native. This is a school where most children come from families working in the industrial, warehouse, and service economy that defines much of North Las Vegas. We looked for data on English learner status and special education enrollment and found neither reported, so those profiles are not available here.
On state assessments in the most recent school year, Elizondo posted modest proficiency in English language arts and math, with ELA running somewhat ahead of math. Science proficiency, tested only at fifth grade, was very low. Participation was strong across all three subjects. These results indicate that a majority of tested students are not yet meeting grade-level benchmarks, and the science figure in particular stands well below what most families would hope to see. A parent may want to look into this further with the school, asking how instruction in reading and math is structured, what intervention supports exist, and what the campus plan is for science specifically.
No multi-year trend data was available, so it is not clear from the provided information whether these proficiency levels are improving, holding steady, or declining. Average scale scores were also missing from the dataset. Without longitudinal context, a family has only a single-year snapshot to work from.
The surrounding community is North Las Vegas, a suburban city within the Las Vegas metropolitan area. Publicly reported sources describe a place that blends master-planned residential communities like Aliante and Eldorado with large-scale industrial and warehouse-distribution zones. The city has been one of the fastest-growing in the United States, with home prices roughly doubling over the past several years before recent slight cooling. The housing market in the school's zip code sits below the Nevada state benchmark but above the national one, with rents modestly lower than the estimated monthly mortgage cost, which may make renting relatively more accessible than buying for families connected to the school. The broader economy draws on Nellis Air Force Base, Amazon fulfillment, Sephora distribution, and a growing slate of green-technology and advanced manufacturing employers, including a new PCM Railone facility announced for North American headquarters. The built environment is car-dependent, with parks, libraries, and recreation centers spread across neighborhoods rather than concentrated in a traditional downtown. Trails along the Las Vegas Wash connect to a regional hiking and biking system.
We searched for parent-relevant changes in the Clark County School District and found little that spoke to curriculum, policy, or budget shifts with lasting family impact, so that section is left out rather than guessed. No neighbor comparison fact-set was provided, so the school is not positioned against nearby campuses here. Program offerings, staffing, attendance, and discipline data were also absent from the available material.
What the data does convey is a school serving a high-poverty elementary population in a rapidly developing suburban city, with assessment results that trail state expectations and a community context shaped by industrial growth and residential expansion. Families considering Elizondo would be wise to ask directly about academic improvement plans, available interventions, and what the classroom experience looks like for children at each grade level.
