Summary

Mackey Jo Elementary School is a public elementary school in North Las Vegas, Nevada, serving 504 students in grades PK-5. As part of the Clark County School District, which is ranked 5 out of 12 in the state, Mackey Jo has consistently demonstrated strong academic performance, with proficiency rates in Mathematics and Reading that exceed the district and state averages.

Mackey Jo's academic excellence is particularly noteworthy, with the school ranking among the top elementary schools in Nevada and earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's ability to support the success of diverse student subgroups, such as Hispanic students and English Language Learners, is commendable, as it indicates a commitment to providing quality education for all. However, the school's relatively high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 12.9% to 31.3% in recent years, are an area of concern that the school and district may need to address to improve student attendance and engagement.

When compared to nearby schools, such as Martinez Reynaldo L Elementary and Cahlan Marion Elementary, Mackey Jo's academic performance is particularly strong, with significantly higher proficiency rates in Mathematics and Reading. While some nearby schools, like Toland Helen Anderson International Academy, also demonstrate impressive academic achievements, Mackey Jo's consistent high performance and support for diverse learners make it a standout elementary school in the North Las Vegas area.

Grades are not posted timely (35+ days), the school is extremely understaffed causing large class sizes and teachers who are unable to address students work in a timely manner, or if even at all. No accountability. They cancelled their Magnet Technology Explorations class for Elementary in 2022, and have not informed the Parents of this major change in curriculum that is no longer being taught. A perfect magnet program Bait and switch where they pull in smart kids and don’t provide the education that is marketed. What is shown on their CCSD's website is not being taught. They promote "Digital Sciences", but no longer use dedicated computer labs nor dedicated computer teachers for Elementary. Close Quote

My daughter is enrolled to start first grade here. I had reservations about the school, despite the awards they have won. I have heard things from teachers that it isn't really that great of a school and really just average. Well I accepted the seat for my child and attended open house today.

I was very upset to find that a student from my child's previous school that has bad behavior and actually punched my child was in her new classroom. I went to speak to the principal, Kamela Washington, regarding this and she stated they won't move my child into a different classroom because the classes are all full. I know this isn't true because another parent from my daughter private kindergarten told us that hadn't registered until the day of the open house and didn't know which teachers their twins were getting for 1st grade since you don't receive an assigned teacher until your child is registered. So there were still open seats in other classrooms when I asked several weeks ago and again at open house.

The principal said I could ask my child's teacher to put the kids at the different tables in the classroom. Yea, that will really help. What kind of school offers to do nothing when a child has been physically assaulted by anther student and doesn't want to be in the same classroom?!?

This is not some great "magnet school" just another crappy and corrupt CCSD school.

Jo Mackey also reserves seats for every student from my daughter's private kindergarten even though the magnet program is supposed to be on a lottery system. Close Quote

I have received numerous notes and flyers sent home with spelling mistakes. I have received notices with incorrect dates for teacher in-service. In addition, if you are pro-Obama, this is this school for you. This is an academy of democratic and progressive politics. If the school we are zoned for had a traditional school year like Jo Mackey, and not 12-month, I would have pulled my child out of school mid-year and sent him to a public school. There is no way I will let him attend 2 years in a row. Close Quote
