Herr Helen Elementary School

Summary:

Herr Helen Elementary School is a public elementary school in Las Vegas, Nevada, serving 615 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, Herr Helen Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom quarter of Nevada elementary schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past few years.

Herr Helen Elementary faces significant challenges in terms of student academic performance, with consistently low test scores in both math and reading proficiency across all grade levels. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, the school's overall math proficiency was 23%, compared to 30.1% for the district and 32.6% for the state. Similarly, the school's overall reading proficiency was 29%, compared to 39.3% for the district and 41.3% for the state. Additionally, the school has a 100% free/reduced lunch rate, indicating that all students come from low-income households.

When comparing Herr Helen Elementary to the nearby schools in the same district, it becomes clear that the school is underperforming its peers. For instance, Keller Charlotte & Jerry Elementary and Miller Sandy Searles Elementary, which are both within a 2.5-mile radius, have significantly higher test scores and overall SchoolDigger ratings compared to Herr Helen. Addressing the disparities in subgroup performance and exploring ways to reduce the student-teacher ratio could be potential areas of focus for the school and district to improve 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.
