Summary

Cahlan Marion Elementary School is a PK–5 school with 479 students in North Las Vegas, NV, part of the Clark County school district. It serves a deeply low-income community: 100% of students qualified for free or reduced-price lunch in each of the last three reported years, and all ten nearby elementary schools share that same figure. The school currently earns 2 stars and ranks 210th of 376 Nevada elementary schools (44th percentile), a rebound from a 1-star, 24th-percentile low in 2024–25 and well below its 4-star peak in 2017–18.

Academics improved sharply in 2025–26. Math proficiency reached 38.5%, above the district (33.8%) and state (36.2%). Reading reached 40.6%, below the district (43.3%) and state (45.2%); science results were suppressed by the state and are unknown. The gains were large and school-specific — math rose 10.8 points and reading 11.7 points in a single year, while the district moved just 0.8 points in math and slipped 0.6 in reading. Among the eleven nearby schools, Cahlan Marion ranks second in math (behind Mackey Jo) and third in reading. Fourth-grade math (43.0%) is a bright spot, while third-grade reading (37.8%) is the weakest relative result of any grade and subject with reported data.

The clearest concern is attendance. Chronic absenteeism is 34.4%, above the district (27.0%), the state (25.5%), and the nearby-school average of roughly 24.5% — ninth-worst of eleven locally — and it rose from 30.5% the year before. Reading trails the district at every tested grade, with fifth grade (44.2%) furthest behind both district (50.7%) and state (52.7%). Still, Cahlan Marion outperforms most nearby schools while spending less per student ($16,319, below the group average of about $17,700) with the second-smallest classes in the group (13.6 students per teacher).
