Summary

McMillan James B Elementary School is a public elementary school in Las Vegas, Nevada, serving 498 students in grades PK-5 and part of the Clark County School District.

The school faces significant challenges, including consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, academic performance below state and district averages across all grade levels and subject areas, and varying performance among different student subgroups. While the school's per-student spending has increased over the years, this has not yet translated into improved academic outcomes. Compared to nearby schools like Adcock O K Elementary School and Bryan Richard H Elementary School, McMillan James B Elementary School is underperforming academically.

The presence of a high-performing charter school, Doral Academy Fire Mesa, within a 1-mile radius may be drawing away some of the higher-performing students and families from the traditional public school system. Additionally, the school's high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (100%) suggests that the academic challenges may be closely tied to the socioeconomic status of its student population.
