Summary

Detwiler Ollie Elementary School is a public elementary school in Las Vegas, Nevada, serving 555 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. However, Detwiler Ollie Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom quarter of Nevada elementary schools over the past decade, with a current ranking of 371 out of 379 schools and a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Detwiler Ollie Elementary faces significant challenges in academic performance, with only 17.3% of students proficient or better in SBAC Mathematics and 21.3% proficient or better in SBAC Reading, compared to the Clark County and Nevada averages of 33% and 43.9% in reading, respectively. The school also has high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 24.7% to 31.3% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state average. Additionally, Detwiler Ollie Elementary has a 100% free and reduced-price lunch rate, indicating that the student population comes from low-income households.

While Detwiler Ollie Elementary spends a relatively high amount per student, ranging from $10,302 to $13,342 per student over the past few years, this higher spending does not appear to translate into improved academic outcomes. In comparison, the nearby Twin Lakes Elementary and West Prep Elementary schools generally outperform Detwiler Ollie Elementary on academic measures, with lower chronic absenteeism rates and more socioeconomically diverse student populations.
