Summary:

Dondero Harvey N Elementary School is a public elementary school in Las Vegas, Nevada, serving 763 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Clark County School District, which is ranked 7th out of 13 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. However, Dondero Harvey N Elementary School has seen a decline in its statewide ranking, dropping from 177th out of 388 Nevada elementary schools in 2018-2019 to 294th out of 377 in 2023-2024, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Academically, Dondero Harvey N Elementary School consistently underperforms compared to the Clark County and Nevada averages in both mathematics and reading proficiency across all grade levels. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 25.8% of Dondero Harvey N students were proficient or better in mathematics, compared to 30.1% in Clark County and 32.6% statewide. The school's performance on various student subgroups is also mixed, with relatively better rankings for African American students but lower rankings for Hispanic students and English Language Learners.

Interestingly, when comparing Dondero Harvey N Elementary School to nearby schools within the same district, some schools, such as Kim Frank Elementary School and Decker C H Elementary School, outperform Dondero Harvey N in academic proficiency. Additionally, the public charter school Amplus Rainbow, located in the same general area, significantly outperforms Dondero Harvey N and the district/state averages in both mathematics and reading proficiency. Despite the higher per-student spending at Dondero Harvey N Elementary School compared to some nearby schools, the academic performance of the school remains relatively low, suggesting that factors beyond just funding may be contributing to the school's underperformance.

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.

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.
