The top reported proficiency rate is 37% in English language arts. The lowest is 8% in Science.
Original Research by School Decision on Innovations Int'l Charter Es
Innovations International Charter ES is a public charter elementary school serving pre-kindergarten through fifth grade on East Oakey Boulevard in central Las Vegas, within the Clark County School District boundary. As a charter, it operates with its own governance but sits in a part of the valley where most families will recognize both the opportunities and the constraints of urban Las Vegas living.
The school serves a modestly sized elementary population. Its student body is predominantly Hispanic, with smaller Black, white, Asian, multiracial, and other groups also enrolled. Every student qualifies for free or reduced-price lunch, which places the school firmly in a high-poverty serving context. Data on English learners and special education enrollment was not available in the information we reviewed, so families whose children need English-language support or individualized education plans should ask the school directly about staffing and services in those areas.
On the most recent Nevada state assessments, Innovations posted proficiency rates in math and English language arts that hover around a third of tested students meeting or exceeding standards. Science results were substantially lower, with only a small fraction of tested students reaching proficiency. Participation was strong across all three subjects, which means nearly all eligible students were tested and these results give a reasonably complete picture. No multi-year trend data was available, so it is hard to say whether these results represent improvement, decline, or stability. Average scale scores were also missing from the dataset. A parent weighing academic fit may want to look into how the school supports students below proficiency and what growth patterns look like over time.
Because Innovations serves only elementary grades, there is no graduation rate to report, and the absence of that metric simply reflects the grade band served. Similarly, course access data for higher-level offerings like AP or dual credit does not apply here. The dataset did not include information on programs, extracurriculars, staffing ratios, attendance patterns, or discipline, so we cannot speak to those dimensions. Families interested in enrichment, arts, or after-school offerings would need to contact the school for specifics.
The surrounding neighborhood, based on the school's ZIP code, offers relatively affordable housing by Las Vegas-area standards. Typical home values sit below the Nevada state benchmark and close to the national median, and values have dipped modestly over the past year. Rents in the area are moderate and have risen only slightly year over year. For families weighing whether to rent or buy, the current mortgage environment makes renting the cheaper monthly option in this neighborhood, with estimated ownership costs running higher than typical rents. Unemployment figures and broader economic indicators suggest a stable if not booming labor environment, and real median household income has crept upward in recent years nationally.
We looked for recent Clark County School District policy, curriculum, or funding changes that might affect families but found little that met that bar. Search results tended toward county geography and government structure rather than school-level developments, so we left that section out rather than guess.
Innovations International Charter ES is a small, high-poverty-serving elementary charter with a predominantly Hispanic student body, solid test participation, and proficiency results that suggest room for academic growth, particularly in science. The neighborhood is relatively affordable for Las Vegas. Families considering this school would benefit from asking direct questions about instructional support, English learner and special education services, and enrichment offerings, since several of those data points were not available in the records we reviewed.
