Cozine Steve and Linda Elementary sits on Coleman Street in North Las Vegas, a suburban city spread across the Las Vegas Valley where master-planned communities like Aliante and Eldorado sit alongside large industrial and warehouse-distribution corridors. The city has been one of the fastest-growing in the region, annexing desert land in the 1990s for residential development and continuing to add industrial employers, with Amazon, Sephora, and Bigelow Aerospace now operating alongside longtime anchors like Nellis Air Force Base. Publicly reported growth includes a new PCM Railone production facility and North American headquarters tied to the Brightline West rail project. The built environment is car-dependent, with parks and recreation centers serving as community gathering points rather than a traditional downtown core. The city maintains dozens of parks, several with water amenities, and a network of paved regional trails connecting to the broader Neon to Nature system. Three libraries serve different neighborhoods, and the College of Southern Nevada's Cheyenne campus occupies a large parcel nearby. Schools here fall under the Clark County School District, one of the largest in the country, which operates across the entire valley rather than being tied to a local downtown.
This is a regular public elementary school serving pre-kindergarten through fifth grade. It is not a charter or magnet school. Every student qualifies for free or reduced-price lunch, which places it firmly among schools serving a high-poverty community. The student body is majority Hispanic, with a substantial Black enrollment, smaller White and multiracial populations, and small Asian and Native Hawaiian or Pacific Islander groups. The school does not report its special-education or English-learner rates, so families seeking that information would need to ask the school directly.
On the most recent state assessments, Cozine's English language arts results stand out as the stronger area, with nearly half of tested students reaching proficiency. Math results land below that, with a smaller share clearing the bar. Science proficiency is very low, with only a handful of students reaching proficiency. Participation was solid across all three subjects. No multi-year trend data was available, so it is not possible to say from the provided data whether these results represent improvement or decline. A parent may want to look into the science result further with the school, as the gap between science and the other subjects is wide.
The school's enrollment is sizable for an elementary, with a fairly even spread across the early grades and a larger fourth-grade cohort. Pre-kindergarten serves a modest group. No staffing, attendance, discipline, or course-access data was provided, and no civil-rights data was available. Program offerings were not reported either. These gaps mean the picture here is limited to demographics, assessment results, and the surrounding community context.
Housing in the school's zip code sits below the Nevada state benchmark but above the national figure, with home values showing a slight year-over-year decline. Rents have dipped slightly as well. The estimated monthly mortgage costs more than renting in this area, and the price-to-income ratio runs higher than the national average, which reflects the broader Las Vegas market where home prices have risen steeply over the past several years. For families considering the neighborhood, this means rental housing may be the more accessible entry point, while buying requires stretching against current mortgage rates.
No district-level parent-relevant changes were found in the search for Clark County School District, so there is little to report on recent policy, curriculum, or budget shifts that would affect families at this school specifically. What the assembled picture shows is a high-poverty elementary school in a fast-growing suburban city, with middling reading results, weaker math, and a science result that stands far below the others. Families weighing this school should ask about what supports are in place for science instruction and how the school serves its English-learner and special-education populations, since those data points were not available.
