Summary

Dondero Harvey N Elementary School is a public elementary school in Las Vegas, Nevada, serving 699 students from pre-kindergarten to 5th grade. The school is part of the Clark County School District, which is ranked 5th out of 12 districts in Nevada and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Dondero Harvey N Elementary School has a relatively high spending per student, ranging from $8,662 to $10,776 over the past few years, this does not seem to translate into improved academic outcomes. The school consistently underperforms compared to the state and district averages in both mathematics and reading proficiency, with proficiency rates of 32.5% in mathematics and 30.8% in reading in the 2024-2025 school year, compared to the state averages of 35.4% and 45.6%, respectively. Additionally, the school has consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 24.8% to 31.3% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state and district averages.

Interestingly, the nearby schools, such as Kim Frank Elementary School and Wynn Elaine Elementary School, also have high rates of chronic absenteeism and underperform compared to state and district averages. However, some nearby schools, like Jydstrup Helen Elementary School and Diskin P.A. Elementary School, perform better academically, suggesting that factors beyond just funding and demographics may be contributing to the academic outcomes at Dondero Harvey N Elementary School.
