of 376 Nevada Elementary Schools

Better than 5% of Nevada elementary schools

Summary

Lowman Mary & Zel Elementary School is a PK–5 school in Las Vegas, NV, within the Clark County School District, enrolling 689 students in a fully low-income community where 100% qualify for free or reduced-price lunch. In 2025–26, it ranked 357th of 376 Nevada schools (5th percentile, 0 stars), with 17.4% meeting standards in math and 25.4% in reading; district rates are 33.8% and 43.3%. Science data is suppressed, so it is unknown, not a zero. Chronic absenteeism is 44.8%, versus district 27.0% and state 25.5%.

Compared with nearby same-district schools, Lowman is not the lowest: Manch J E ranked lower (0th percentile), while Tate (30th), Dickens (35th), Woolley (20th), Lincoln (12th), Cox (10th), and King (2nd) rank higher. Lowman’s proficiency beats King, Craig, and Manch but trails Tate, Lincoln, Woolley, Cox, and Dickens. Attendance is a standout challenge: only Manch is slightly worse (45.6%), while Lincoln (23.2%), Cox (24.5%), Dickens (26.2%), Woolley (29.5%), Tate (31.1%), Craig (35.5%), and King (36.0%) have lower chronic absenteeism. Because these nearby district schools also serve 100% low-income students, Lowman’s attendance issue appears school-specific and a key area for support.

Lowman spends $14,392 per student (2023–24), the lowest among same-district nearby schools, and its student–teacher ratio of 20.8 (2024–25) is high locally. Yet it outperforms higher-spending Manch and Craig in math and reading, suggesting spending alone does not determine outcomes. By contrast, Coral Academy Nellis AFB, a nearby PK–8 charter, has 42.1% math and 54.4% reading proficiency and 9.6% chronic absenteeism, but only 35.03% free/reduced lunch, so it is not a direct demographic peer. Math proficiency rose from 7.4% in 2022–23 to 17.4% in 2025–26, and reading from 13.0% to 25.4%; absenteeism improved from 59.5% in 2021–22 to 44.8%. Older data pointed to special education as a historical weakness. Overall, momentum is positive, but proficiency remains roughly half district and state levels, and attendance and special education support are high-leverage priorities.
