Summary

McMillan James B Elementary School is a PK–5 neighborhood school in Las Vegas, Nevada, serving 460 students at 7000 Walt Lott Dr as part of Clark County. In 2025–2026 it ranked 239th of 376 Nevada elementary schools — 36th percentile, 2 stars — well below its own district, which ranks 5th of 12 districts statewide (58th percentile, 4 stars). The school has improved meaningfully from earlier lows: it sat at the 9th–11th percentile in 2018–2019 and 2022–2023, then climbed into the mid-30s and has since plateaued there. All of its students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, and its per-student spending has risen from $11,844 in 2020–2021 to $17,592 in 2023–2024.

In 2025–2026, 31.3% of McMillan students were proficient in math and 40.0% in reading, below district and state averages. Science results for that year were suppressed by the state, so the current picture is unknown; the prior year's science score of 12.2% was below district and state. Among nearby same-district elementaries, McMillan sits mid-pack: it outperforms Bunker Berkeley L Elementary School, Culley Paul E Elementary School, Ronzone Bertha Elementary School, Fong Wing and Lilly Elementary School, Pittman Vail Elementary School, and Katz Edythe & Lloyd Elementary School in most core measures, but trails Bryan Richard H Elementary School, Adcock O K Elementary School, and Smith Helen M Elementary School. Fifth grade reading is a bright spot at 55.2% proficiency, above both district and state, while fourth grade is the weakest area (25.6% math, 28.2% reading). The nearby charter Doral Academy Fire Mesa performs at a much higher tier, though it serves a different grade span and population.

Chronic absenteeism is McMillan's most distinctive challenge: 36.1% in 2025–2026, the highest among nearby same-district elementary schools and above the district's 27.0% and the state's 25.5%. It has fallen sharply from 53.3% in 2021–2022, but rose again from 32.2% the previous year. Class sizes are moderate at a 14.8 student/teacher ratio, so funding alone does not appear to be the barrier. Overall, McMillan is a high-poverty school making real academic progress but still working to reach district and state averages.
