The top reported proficiency rate is 65% in English language arts. The lowest is 33% in Science.
Original Research by School Decision on Stuckey Evelyn Es
Stuckey Evelyn Elementary sits in the southern reaches of Las Vegas, serving pre-kindergarten through fifth grade as a regular public school in the Clark County School District. The campus sits on Chartan Avenue in a part of the city where home values run above both state and national benchmarks, though both sale prices and rents have been easing recently. The rental market here tilts toward affordability relative to owning, with monthly rent sitting below the estimated monthly mortgage cost for a typical area home. For families weighing where to live, renting in this neighborhood could be the more manageable path into the school's attendance zone.
Academically, the school posts solid proficiency results on Nevada's state assessments. In English language arts, the share of students meeting or exceeding proficiency is a clear majority and represents the school's strongest subject. Math proficiency also sits above the halfway mark, which is a creditable result for an elementary campus. Science, tested only in fifth grade, lags well behind both, with about a third of tested students reaching proficiency. A parent may want to look into how science instruction is structured across the upper grades, particularly whether the school is building hands-on inquiry from earlier years or concentrating preparation in fifth. Participation rates across all three subjects are strong, so the results reflect nearly the full testing population rather than a thin slice.
The student body is racially and ethnically varied, with white students forming the largest single group and Hispanic students close behind. The school also enrolls meaningful numbers of students identifying as two or more races, Asian, Black, and Native Hawaiian or Pacific Islander, which gives children exposure to a peer group that reflects the broader diversity of the Las Vegas valley. Every student at the school qualifies for free or reduced-price lunch, which marks this as a campus serving an economically disadvantaged community. This context matters when reading the proficiency numbers, because the school is producing above-majority proficiency in reading and math against the headwind of universal economic need.
Several pieces of information that would help round out the picture were not available. The school's individualized education program rate and English learner rate were both missing from the data, so it is hard to say how large those populations are or what support infrastructure surrounds them. No locale classification, staffing figures, attendance data, discipline records, or course access details were provided. Civil rights data and program offerings were also absent. We looked for recent Clark County School District changes that might affect families, such as curriculum shifts, policy updates, or funding decisions, but the search returned information about county government structure rather than district-level changes with lasting parent impact, so we left it out rather than guess.
Because this is an elementary school serving only through grade five, there is no graduation rate to report and no high school course pathway data such as Advanced Placement or dual credit. Those measures simply do not apply to a school at this grade band. The state also does not test pre-kindergarten through second grade, so the assessment results cover grades three through five only.
For a family considering this school, the core academic signals are encouraging in literacy and math, less so in science, and the community it serves is one where economic need is pervasive but where test outcomes are holding their own. The housing market in the immediate area is more expensive than much of Nevada, but softening prices and rents that undercut ownership costs may give families some room to maneuver. The gaps in the data, particularly around special populations and staffing, mean a visit to the campus or a conversation with the front office would be worthwhile to fill in what the numbers do not capture.
