Summary

Allen Dean LaMar Elementary School is a PK–5 school in Las Vegas, NV (89149) serving 390 students in the Clark County School District. Its 2025–26 state rank is 136th of 376 schools, which is the 64th percentile with 3 stars. LaMar outperforms district and state averages in the tested subjects where data are available: 43.1% proficient in math and 54.4% in reading, versus district and state averages that are lower. Science results are state-suppressed, so current science performance is unknown. The school was a 4-star school in the late 2010s, then mostly 3 stars since 2020–21, and its 64th percentile rank is a modest recovery from a 52nd percentile low in 2022–23.

Among nearby schools, LaMar is roughly mid-pack. It trails stronger same-district schools such as Tarr Sheila Academy of Int'l Studies Elementary School, Darnell Marshall C Elementary School, and Neal Joseph M Elementary School in overall math and reading. It is similar to Deskin Ruthe Elementary School and Thompson Sandra L Elementary School, clearly ahead of Garehime Edith Elementary School and Imagine School Mountain View, and behind the high-performing charters Coral Academy Centennial Hills and Somerset Academy Lone Mountain, which serve different populations. A standout strength is 3rd grade reading: 67.2% proficient, far above district and state averages and second only to Tarr nearby. The clearest weakness is 5th grade, where math (31.5%) and reading (48.6%) are below district and state averages and lower than most nearby schools.

Chronic absenteeism is 26.2% in 2025–26, slightly better than the district’s 27.0% but slightly worse than the state’s 25.5%. It has improved from about 30% in 2022–23 but remains well above Tarr and the charters. LaMar spends $16,169 per student (2023–24), the highest among nearby same-district schools, and its student-teacher ratio is 14.4 (2024–25), relatively favorable versus most nearby same-district schools. Nearly all students are economically disadvantaged. Science remains a data blind spot; the last available result from 2022–23 was 15.5%, below district and state. Overall, LaMar is above district and state averages and recovering, but it has not returned to its earlier top-tier levels.

My nieces, nephews (who are graduated and in college) and now, my kids go to this school. The staff is excellent, the principal is fun, is very involved with the students, parents and teachers, the Vice Principal knows the names of almost every child in the entire school. The PTO does so much to try and help the school, something fun is always happening. Some of the staff have been teaching here since the school opened it's doors.
The district began busing kids from lower achieving schools, to this school and since then, the test scores have dropped dramatically. The teachers can only do so much, but if the parents are not backing them up at home, the child is not going to do very well. I am very happy with this school and the staff, my kids are thriving.
