Summary

Ullom J M Elementary School is a PK–5 public school in Las Vegas, NV 89121, serving 623 students as part of the Clark County School District. It serves a high-poverty population — free and reduced-price lunch was 100% in 2022–2023, 2023–2024, and 2024–2025 — though every nearby school with reported data shows the same, so this is not a local differentiator. In 2025–2026 the school ranked 251st of 376 Nevada schools, at the 33rd percentile with 2 stars, while its district overall sits at the 58th percentile with 4 stars.

Academically, results are mixed. Math is Ullom's relative strength: 33.9% proficiency, essentially tied with the district's 33.8% and 4th among nine nearby same-district schools, above Bailey Sister Robert Joseph Elementary School, Harmon Harley Elementary School, Tomiyasu Bill Y Elementary School, Cunningham Cynthia Elementary School, and Whitney Elementary School. Reading is a clear weakness at 38.5%, below the district (43.3%) and state (45.2%), with only Thorpe Jim Elementary School and Whitney lower locally. Science is the standout weakness: 10.2%, versus 23.5% district and 25.5% statewide, and the lowest reported science score among nearby schools. Fifth grade lags most — math 23.7% vs. 34.7% state, reading 38.7% vs. 52.7%, science 10.2% vs. 17.4%. Treem Harriet Elementary School, Ferron William E Elementary School, Tomiyasu, and Harmon all outperform Ullom, and nearby charters Mater Mountain Vista (72nd percentile) and Discovery Charter School Sandhill (71st) rank far higher.

Attendance is a bright spot. Chronic absenteeism fell from 45.6% in 2021–2022 to 24.6% in 2025–2026 — better than the district's 27.0% and the state's 25.5%. Per-student spending rose 55%, from $10,609 in 2020–2021 to $16,500 in 2023–2024, while the student-teacher ratio moved from 14.4 to 16.1.
