Summary

Decker C H Elementary School is a PK–5 school in Las Vegas, Nevada, serving 554 students as part of the Clark County district. In 2025–26 it ranked 188th of 376 Nevada elementary schools — the 50th percentile, with 3 stars — placing it near the middle of the statewide distribution and in the upper-middle group among nearby schools. Its trajectory is notably upward: the statewide percentile was 21st in 2018–19 and 31st in 2021–22, then rose to 50th in 2025–26.

Math is Decker's clearest academic strength. Its 41.0% math proficiency is above the district (33.8%) and the state (36.2%), and it has beaten both in each of the last four reported years. Reading is closer to average at 43.1%, essentially matching the district (43.3%) but below the state (45.2%). Grade-level results show a split: 5th-grade math (37.3%) and 5th-grade reading (53.7%) are both above district and state, while 3rd-grade reading (32.8%) falls well below both and is the clearest weak spot. Science results for 2025–26 were suppressed by the state, so current science performance is unknown — not evidence of weakness.

Attendance and staffing have improved markedly. Chronic absenteeism fell from 45.1% in 2021–22 to 24.6% in 2025–26, now better than district (27.0%) and state (25.5%), though Earl Marion B Elementary School (15.9%) and Thiriot Joseph E Elementary School (19.0%) do better. The student-teacher ratio dropped from 19.7 to 13.1, second-lowest among nearby schools behind only Gray R Guild Elementary School (12.1). Per-pupil spending was $16,345 in 2023–24, mid-pack locally, where higher-spending Wynn Elaine Elementary School and Roundy Dr C Owen Elementary School show lower proficiency than lower-spending Bryan Roger M Elementary School and Jydstrup Helen Elementary School.

What people are saying

by a parent
Friday, July 5, 2019

From first grade through third grade, my grandson attended Decker Elementary. To say that this is the worst school would really be a huge understatement. In both second & third grade, my grandson had 3-4 teachers in a calendar school year. Every time that my grandson allowed himself to get close to his teacher, they were gone, only to be replaced by a brand new one. Over time, we watched as my grandson withdrew and then was extremely reluctant to even go to school. By third grade, we knew that we were witnessing this very bright and once open child developing abandonment and trust issues. Upon some investigating on our part, we learned that the teacher retention problem was largely due to the abusive behavior of the Principal. The Principal is rude, belligerent and dismissive to adults, so I absolutely cringe at how she interacts with the students. I have listened to enough stories from teachers, both current & former, to believe that this Principal is the problem. Not to mention that she ( the Principal ) had the same issues at her last school assignment and was eventually transferred from that school to Decker Elementary.

To help save my grandson's education and love of learning, we have had no other choice but to remove him from the toxic environment that has been detrimental to his early education and place him in a private school. While this is not an option for most parents of the students at Decker Elementary, we felt that it was the only viable choice for our grandson as long as this Principal is employed by CCSD.
