Original Research by School Decision on Nv Learning Academy Es
NV Learning Academy ES is a regular public elementary school in Las Vegas, serving pre-kindergarten through fifth grade within the Clark County School District. It sits on East Flamingo Road in the 89121 zip code, an area of Las Vegas where housing costs run below the Nevada state benchmark but where the price-to-income ratio remains elevated relative to the national figure. For families renting in the neighborhood, monthly rent sits comfortably below what a mortgage would cost at current rates, which may matter to parents weighing school catchment against housing budgets.
The school is large for an elementary campus, with enrollment spread across kindergarten through fifth grade and growing grade by grade from the youngest to the oldest. The student body is diverse. Hispanic students form the largest group, followed by Black students, with smaller shares of white, Asian, multiracial, and Native Hawaiian or Pacific Islander students. The school does not carry a charter or magnet designation. Data on free or reduced-price lunch eligibility was not available, and information on English learner and special education populations was also missing from the figures provided, so a parent wanting to understand the full range of student needs would need to ask the school directly.
On state assessments, the most recent results paint a sobering picture. In English language arts, roughly a third of tested students reached proficiency, which is the relatively stronger subject area. In math, the share of students demonstrating proficiency was much lower. In science, the proficiency rate was strikingly low, with only a handful of students meeting the bar. Participation rates also varied across subjects, with science participation notably lower than in English language arts or math. These results come from the SBAC and state science assessments administered in the most recent school year.
A parent reading these results may want to look into this further with the school. The combination of low proficiency across all three subjects, particularly in math and science, raises questions about instructional approach, curriculum alignment, and what supports are in place for students working below grade level. Because the data does not include trend information, it is not possible to tell whether these numbers represent a decline, a plateau, or something else. The school's average scale scores were also not reported, so there is no additional achievement context beyond the proficiency rates.
Several categories of information that would help a parent form a fuller picture were absent from the available data. No discipline, course access, staffing, or attendance figures were provided. No information about Title I status was listed. No program offerings were described. No locale brief was available for the immediate neighborhood around the school. The district brief searched for recent parent-relevant changes in Clark County School District but did not find policy, curriculum, referendum, or tax changes with lasting parent impact, so there is nothing to report on that front. No comparison fact-set was available to position this school against others in the county.
What the data does show is a large, diverse elementary school in an accessible Las Vegas neighborhood, with state assessment results that fall well below what most families would hope to see. Parents considering this school would benefit from asking directly about academic improvement plans, intervention programs, teacher retention, and how the school communicates student progress to families throughout the year.
