The school is part of the Clark County School District, which is the 7th ranked district out of 13 in Nevada and is rated 3 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

Snyder Don & Dee Elementary School consistently outperforms the Clark County and Nevada averages in both mathematics and reading proficiency across all grade levels. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, the school had 44.7% of students proficient or better in SBAC/Reading for All Grades, compared to 39.3% for Clark County and 41.3% for Nevada. However, the school's performance is generally on par with or slightly below that of the nearby schools in the district, such as Berkley Shelley Elementary School and Steele Judith D Elementary School. When compared to the nearby charter schools, such as Doral Academy Cactus and Legacy Traditional School Southwest Las Vegas, Snyder Don & Dee Elementary School's performance is lower, as these charter schools consistently outperform the district and state averages.

Snyder Don & Dee Elementary School serves a highly economically disadvantaged population, with 100% of its students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. This is significantly higher than the nearby district schools, which range from 100% to around 40% free and reduced-price lunch recipients. The school's spending per student has steadily increased over the years, from $8,049 in 2018-2019 to $11,085 in 2021-2022, which may be a reflection of the additional resources required to support its student population.

Terrible school. Office staff is clueless and lazy. Principle is never there, and the assistant principle is a waste of space. Close Quote

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.
