Cahlan Marion Elementary School

Summary:

Cahlan Marion Elementary School is a public elementary school in North Las Vegas, Nevada, serving 569 students from pre-kindergarten to 5th grade. The school faces significant academic and socioeconomic challenges, as evidenced by its declining performance, high percentage of students from low-income families, and underperformance compared to the surrounding schools and state averages.

Despite the overall academic challenges, Cahlan Marion Elementary School has demonstrated strengths in supporting certain student subgroups, such as Hispanic students, English Language Learners, and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, ranking in the top 6-29 out of over 300 Nevada elementary schools in these categories in the 2017-2018 school year. However, the school's academic performance, as measured by SBAC proficiency rates in mathematics and reading, has declined over the years, with the 2023-2024 school year projecting the lowest proficiency rates compared to the Clark County and Nevada state averages.

The high percentage of students from low-income families, as indicated by the 100% free and reduced lunch rate, may be a contributing factor to the school's academic challenges and underperformance compared to the surrounding schools, such as Fitzgerald H.P. Elementary School and Perkins Dr. Claude G. Elementary School, which also face academic challenges. However, some nearby schools, like Mackey Jo Elementary School, have shown stronger academic performance, suggesting that there may be opportunities for Cahlan Marion Elementary School to learn from the practices and strategies of higher-performing schools in the area.

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.
