Despite the school's high spending per student, which has increased from $9,356 in 2018-2019 to $13,358 in 2021-2022, King Junior Martin Luther Elementary School consistently ranks in the bottom quartile of Nevada elementary schools, ranking 358th out of 377 schools in 2023-2024. The school's proficiency rates in both mathematics and reading are significantly lower than the Clark County and Nevada state averages across all grade levels.

While the nearby schools, such as Tate Myrtle Elementary School and Heard Lomie G Elementary School, also have high percentages of students from low-income families, they generally outperform King Junior Martin Luther Elementary School in academic proficiency rates. This suggests that the school faces unique challenges in improving student academic outcomes, despite the increased spending per student.

I once was a student here, and i found this school AMAZING. Even though i'm not in this school anymore, I still appreciate the teachers giving me the education I have today because i'm in all AP classes. I also am very grateful of how supportive they can be when you just feel like no one cares anymore. Thanks M.L.K. Staff love Ya'll. <3 Close Quote

I have found this school year 2010-2011 to be the most fruitful for both of my children 1st and 2nd grade. I complement the teachers and their motivation that they give to my children to read and turn in their homework each Friday with their little incentives they give them. It's a team effort and I am very pleased with my children's motivation and school performance this year. Also the concept of having 2 teachers in one classroom, I believe does make a great difference. My second grade son almost made it to the G.A.T.E program and that's speaks tons of the material and the teaching that goes on in the classroom.
I know for a fact that kids will do anything but homework if we let them do so...It's our responsibility us parents to make sure they sit down for those 15-20 min to read and to do homework EVERY DAY; let's not blame our teachers for our faults!
Good luck MLK staff, pls keep encouraging the kids to succeed. Close Quote

This school has poor teachings, and is very ghetto, I hate my child has to go to this school. Some of the teachers here have no idea how to teach!! Just because you are a teacher doesn't always mean you can teach. My child scores are low and they have no idea how to help her. Close Quote
