The top reported proficiency rate is 50% in English language arts. The lowest is 11% in Science.
Original Research by School Decision on Brookman Eileen B Es
Brookman Eileen B Elementary School sits on East Washington Avenue in Las Vegas, serving students from pre-kindergarten through fifth grade as part of the Clark County School District. It is a regular public school with no charter or magnet designation. The enrollment is sizable for an elementary campus, and every student in the building qualifies for free or reduced-price lunch, which places the school firmly in the category of campuses serving a high-poverty community. The student body is predominantly Hispanic, with smaller populations of white, multiracial, Black, Asian, Native Hawaiian or Pacific Islander, and American Indian or Alaska Native students. We looked for data on English learners and students with individualized education programs, but those figures were not available, so we cannot speak to those populations here.
On state assessments, Brookman's results tell a mixed story. In English language arts, roughly half of tested students reached proficiency, which is a solid standing for a school where every child qualifies for free or reduced-price meals. Math proficiency landed somewhat below that, with just under half of tested students meeting the bar. Science results were markedly lower, with only a small fraction of tested students demonstrating proficiency. Participation was strong across all three subjects, so the results reflect nearly the full tested population rather than a thin sample. Average scale scores were not reported, and no multi-year trend data was available, so we cannot say whether these results represent improvement, decline, or stability over time. A parent weighing these numbers may want to ask the school directly about how it supports science instruction and what interventions are in place for students who fall below proficiency in math.
The surrounding ZIP code offers a housing market that is more affordable than the Nevada statewide benchmark and sits just below the national typical home value. Homes in the area cost less than the state median, and rents are similarly modest relative to broader regional figures. The estimated monthly mortgage on a typical home here exceeds the typical rent by a meaningful margin, which means renting may be the more accessible option for families looking to move into the attendance zone. Home values have edged down slightly over the past year, while rents have crept upward. The price-to-income ratio suggests that buying a home in this area stretches household budgets considerably relative to national norms, even with prices below state levels. The national unemployment picture has been stable, and real median household income has been climbing gradually, but those broad indicators do not capture the specific economic pressures facing the families this school serves.
We searched for recent Clark County School District policy changes, curriculum updates, or budget decisions that would matter to parents, but the research returned little that was specific and parent-relevant. The district is the largest in Nevada and one of the largest in the country, which means decisions made centrally can take time to reach individual campuses and may not always surface in community-level reporting. No locale brief was available for this part of Las Vegas, so we cannot speak to nearby amenities, neighborhood character, or commuting patterns beyond what the address itself suggests. The school does not serve high school grades, so there is no graduation rate to report, and that is expected for an elementary campus.
For a parent considering Brookman, the academic picture is one where reading stands as a relative bright spot, math is close to midpoint, and science is an area that warrants attention. The school serves a community where nearly every family is navigating economic constraints, and the housing market, while more affordable than much of the Las Vegas metro, still demands a stretch for buyers. The information gaps here are real. Without trend data, special-population breakdowns, or program details, a family would benefit from visiting the school, asking about science instruction, and learning what support structures exist for the children who walk through its doors each morning.
