Despite the school's significant investment in resources, with per-student spending increasing from $9,365 in 2018-2019 to $13,038 in 2021-2022, Adams Kirk Elementary School has consistently ranked in the bottom third of Nevada elementary schools over the past decade. The school's performance on SBAC assessments in Mathematics and Reading has been significantly below the state and district averages, with proficiency rates of 22.3% in Mathematics and 28.9% in Reading in the 2023-2024 school year, compared to the state averages of 32.6% and 41.3%, respectively. This academic underperformance has been consistent across various student subgroups, including Female, Male, Hispanic, White, English Language Learners, Special Education, and Low Socioeconomic Status students.

While many of the nearby schools, such as Mendoza John F Elementary School, Mountain View Elementary School, and Wengert Cyril Elementary School, have similar demographic profiles and academic performance levels to Adams Kirk Elementary School, there are some exceptions. For instance, Brookman Eileen B Elementary School and Iverson Mervin Elementary School have shown relatively stronger academic performance, with proficiency rates closer to or above the district and state averages. Additionally, the nearby Mater Bonanza, a public charter school, has significantly outperformed the traditional public schools in the area, highlighting the potential impact of school choice and alternative educational models on student 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.

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.
