Decker C H Elementary School

Summary:

Decker C H Elementary School is a public elementary school in Las Vegas, Nevada, serving 612 students from pre-kindergarten to 5th grade. The school is part of the Clark County School District, the 5th largest school district in the United States.

Decker C H Elementary School has shown mixed academic performance compared to the district and state averages. In the 2023-2024 school year, the school's proficiency rates in SBAC Mathematics (39%) and SBAC Reading (40.1%) were higher than the Clark County and Nevada state averages. However, in previous years, the school's proficiency rates have been lower than the district and state averages. The school's statewide ranking has fluctuated, ranging from 167th out of 377 Nevada elementary schools in 2023-2024 to as low as 307th out of 388 in 2018-2019. The school's current 3-star rating from SchoolDigger places it in the middle range compared to other Nevada elementary schools.

Decker C H Elementary School faces unique challenges, including a 100% free and reduced-price lunch rate, indicating a high-poverty student population. This factor likely contributes to the school's academic challenges and the need for targeted interventions and support. When comparing Decker C H Elementary School to nearby schools like Bryan Roger M Elementary and Diskin P A Elementary, which have higher academic proficiency rates and statewide rankings, it suggests that factors beyond just poverty and demographics may be contributing to the differences in performance. By addressing these challenges through targeted interventions, fostering collaboration with neighboring schools, and implementing a more consistent approach to school improvement, Decker C H Elementary School can work towards better serving its diverse student population and improving overall educational outcomes.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

Open Quote From first grade through third grade, my grandson attended Decker Elementary. To say that this is the worst school would really be a huge understatement. In both second & third grade, my grandson had 3-4 teachers in a calendar school year. Every time that my grandson allowed himself to get close to his teacher, they were gone, only to be replaced by a brand new one. Over time, we watched as my grandson withdrew and then was extremely reluctant to even go to school. By third grade, we knew that we were witnessing this very bright and once open child developing abandonment and trust issues. Upon some investigating on our part, we learned that the teacher retention problem was largely due to the abusive behavior of the Principal. The Principal is rude, belligerent and dismissive to adults, so I absolutely cringe at how she interacts with the students. I have listened to enough stories from teachers, both current & former, to believe that this Principal is the problem. Not to mention that she ( the Principal ) had the same issues at her last school assignment and was eventually transferred from that school to Decker Elementary.

To help save my grandson's education and love of learning, we have had no other choice but to remove him from the toxic environment that has been detrimental to his early education and place him in a private school. While this is not an option for most parents of the students at Decker Elementary, we felt that it was the only viable choice for our grandson as long as this Principal is employed by CCSD.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
