Summary

Adams Kirk Elementary School is a PK–5 school in the 89110 area of Las Vegas, NV, serving 321 students in the Clark County School District — the smallest enrollment among the nearby schools it is typically compared with.

Adams Kirk is a school on the rise, though from a low starting point. Its state rank moved from 309th of 384 (20th percentile, 1 star) in 2022–2023 to 232nd of 376 (38th percentile, 2 stars) in 2025–2026. Math proficiency has climbed 13.5 percentage points over four reported years (16.0% to 29.5%), and reading has risen 6.5 points (28.4% to 34.9%). Even so, both remain below district and state averages. The clearest bright spot is 5th grade math at 38.5%, above both Clark County (32.2%) and Nevada (34.7%); 5th grade reading (49.1%) is close to district and state. The biggest red flag is 4th grade reading at 19.6%, far below the district's 43.8% and the state's 45.4%. A few grade-level results, including all science and 3rd/4th grade math, are suppressed by the state and simply cannot be assessed from this data. 100% of students qualify for free/reduced lunch.

Attendance is a genuine strength: chronic absenteeism fell from 40.9% in 2022–2023 to 22.5% in 2025–2026, below the district's 27.0% and the state's 25.5%, though it is still mid-pack locally. Resources also look favorable — $17,025 per student (up from $11,246) and a 12.8 student-teacher ratio, second lowest nearby. Importantly, higher spending and smaller classes have not yet produced academic parity: Brookman Eileen B Elementary School spends less ($14,379) with larger classes (ratio 18.1) yet posts 45.5% math and 56.2% reading. Adams Kirk does clearly outperform nearby Nevada Prep Charter School (part of State Sponsored Charter Schools) in proficiency, attendance, and class size, a reminder that district ratings don't always reflect an individual school.
