Original Research by School Decision on Roundy Dr C Owen Es
Roundy Dr C Owen Elementary sits on Mohawk Street in Las Vegas, serving pre-kindergarten through fifth grade as a regular public school in the Clark County School District. The enrollment is sizable for an elementary school, with the largest concentrations in the upper grades and a smaller pre-kindergarten cohort. The student body is predominantly Hispanic, with a substantial Black population and smaller groups identifying as two or more races, white, Asian, Native Hawaiian or Pacific Islander, and American Indian or Alaska Native. Every student in the building qualifies for free or reduced-price lunch, which tells you something direct about the community this school serves: it is working with families who are navigating economic pressure, and the school functions as a cornerstone institution in that context.
On Nevada's SBAC assessments for the current school year, proficiency rates sit below where most parents would want them. English language arts results show roughly a quarter of tested students reaching proficient or above. Math is somewhat lower. Science, tested only in fifth grade, reflects a very small share of students meeting proficiency. Participation is strong across all three subjects, so the results are not a function of students opting out. Average scale scores were not available in the data we received, which limits how fine-grained a comparison you can make beyond the proficiency cut. A parent weighing this school may want to look into what targeted interventions and instructional supports the staff is using to move those numbers, and how the school communicates progress throughout the year.
The data gaps are worth naming plainly. We did not receive English learner or special education enrollment figures, even though a school with this demographic profile and universal free lunch eligibility often serves a sizable population of students learning English. Attendance, discipline, staffing, and course or program access data were also absent from what we received, so we cannot speak to class sizes, specialist availability, enrichment offerings, or climate indicators. A family touring the school should ask directly about these areas.
The surrounding zip code's housing market tells part of the story about what it costs to live near Roundy. Home values in this part of Las Vegas sit below the state benchmark and modestly above the national figure, and they have dipped slightly over the past year. Rents are affordable relative to income, and renting costs less per month than carrying a mortgage at current rates. For families already in the area or considering a move, the rental path is the more financially accessible option right now, though mortgage rates remain elevated by recent historical standards. The broader employment picture is stable, with unemployment holding steady.
Clark County School District is one of the largest districts in the country, and a school this size inside it means families are connected to a vast system of resources, transportation, and district-wide programs, but also that individual attention from the central office can be harder to come by. We searched for recent district-level changes that would matter to parents, such as curriculum shifts, funding decisions, or policy updates, but found little that was specific and durable enough to include here, so we left it out rather than guess.
What Roundy offers is a neighborhood elementary school serving a community where nearly every family qualifies for economic support, with a diverse student body and assessment results that indicate real academic challenges. For a parent, the question is whether the school's day-to-day culture, teacher quality, and support systems feel right for their child, and the data here points to some clear follow-up conversations with the administration.
