Summary

Adams Kirk Elementary School is a public elementary school in Las Vegas, Nevada, serving 404 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Clark County School District, which is ranked 5 out of 12 in the state and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Adams Kirk Elementary School faces significant challenges, including consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 21.5% to 31.3% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the district and state averages. Academically, the school's performance on SBAC tests is lower than the district and state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school's proficiency rates in mathematics and reading were 24.5% and 32%, respectively, compared to the district averages of 33% and 43.9%, and the state averages of 35.4% and 45.6%. The school's performance also varies significantly across different student subgroups, with Hispanic students and English Language Learners ranking in the bottom quarter of Nevada elementary schools, while White students and Special Education students ranked in the middle range.

When comparing Adams Kirk Elementary School to nearby schools in the same district, such as Mendoza John F Elementary School, Brookman Eileen B Elementary School, and Iverson Mervin Elementary School, it becomes evident that Adams Kirk is underperforming academically. Additionally, the school's 100% free and reduced lunch rate suggests that the majority of its students come from low-income families, which can be a significant barrier to academic success. Despite the school's higher spending per student compared to the district average, the academic performance remains low, indicating that the resources may not be effectively utilized or allocated to address the specific needs of the students.
