Lowman Mary & Zel Elementary School

Summary:

Lowman Mary & Zel Elementary School is a public elementary school in Las Vegas, Nevada, serving 696 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.

Lowman Mary & Zel Elementary consistently underperforms the Clark County and Nevada state averages in both mathematics and reading proficiency across all grade levels. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 12.1% of Lowman Mary & Zel students were proficient or better in SBAC Mathematics, compared to 30.1% in Clark County and 32.6% in Nevada. The school has been ranked among the lowest-performing elementary schools in Nevada, consistently ranking in the bottom 10% over the past decade, and it has a 100% free and reduced lunch rate, indicating a low socioeconomic student population. Despite the relatively high per-student spending of $12,473 in the 2021-2022 school year, the school's academic performance remains significantly below nearby schools like Tate Myrtle Elementary and Dickens D L Dusty Elementary, which have much higher proficiency rates.

The persistent low performance and lack of improvement at Lowman Mary & Zel Elementary suggest that the school may be facing significant challenges in effectively educating its student population. While the high per-student spending indicates that resources are available, the school may need to examine how these resources are being allocated and utilized to better support student learning and address the educational disparities observed.

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.
