While Park John S Elementary School has a significantly higher percentage of Hispanic students (62.76%) compared to the surrounding schools, which range from 27.14% to 80.93% Hispanic, the school consistently underperforms compared to the Clark County and Nevada averages in both mathematics and reading proficiency.

Park John S Elementary School's performance on state assessments is particularly low for certain student subgroups, such as African American, Hispanic, and English Language Learner students. Additionally, the school has a 100% free and reduced-price lunch rate, indicating that all students come from low-income households, which is significantly higher than the surrounding schools. Despite its proximity to higher-performing schools like Innovations Int'l Charter Elementary School and Crestwood Elementary School, Park John S Elementary School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Nevada elementary schools, suggesting that the school may be facing resource challenges that could be impacting its ability to support student learning.

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.
