Summary

Herr Helen Elementary School is a PK–5 school in Las Vegas, NV (89156) serving 584 students in the Clark County School District. In 2025–26 it ranked 217th of 376 Nevada schools, at the 42nd percentile with 2 stars—up from the 9th percentile in 2021–22. All-grade proficiency was 34.8% in math and 42.6% in reading; science was suppressed by the state, so it is unknown. Chronic absenteeism was 28.3%, above district (27.0%) and state (25.5%). It reports 100% free/reduced lunch eligibility, $14,535 per-student in 2023–24, and a 17.6 student-teacher ratio in 2024–25.

Among nearby schools, Herr’s academics are mid-to-upper but behind top local peers. It outperforms Earl Ira J Elementary School (16.6% math, 19.1% reading), King Junior Martin Luther Elementary School (13.2/21.3), and Hickey Liliam Lujan Elementary School (16.7/29.1), but trails Miller Sandy Searles Elementary School (48.0/58.9) and Brookman Eileen B Elementary School (45.5/56.2). Stanford Elementary School has higher math (37.9%) but lower reading (40.2%). Grade-level results show 3rd grade reading at 48.5%, above district and state, but reading and math fall below district and state in grades 4–5. Chronic absenteeism improved from 46.9% in 2021–22 to 23.9% in 2024–25, then rose to 28.3%. The school spends less per student than most neighbors, while its student-teacher ratio is mid-pack.

Overall, Herr Helen Elementary School is improving and outperforms several nearby schools, but it remains middle-to-lower performing and trails the strongest peers. The upper-grade slide is the clearest concern, and attendance is a major lever—nearby Miller Sandy Searles Elementary School shows very low absenteeism (8.6%) is possible in a similar high-poverty context, while Brookman Eileen B Elementary School posts higher proficiency with similar spending. Science is weak: the last result, 2024–25, was 10% proficient, versus district 25.0% and state 27.2%; current science is suppressed. Historical subgroup data from 2017–18 shows past equity concerns, though current disaggregated results are not provided, so monitoring special education, low-income, and English learner performance should remain a priority. The closest peer, Hickey Liliam Lujan Elementary School (0.38 miles), is favorable: the school outperforms it in math, reading, and absenteeism while spending far less.
