Summary

Iverson Mervin Elementary School is a PK–5 school serving 540 students at 1575 S Hollywood Blvd in Las Vegas (89142), part of the Clark County school district.

Academically, the school ranked 147th of 376 Nevada elementary schools in 2025–26 (61st percentile, 3 stars) — its best standing in eight years and a clear recovery from a 2021–22 and 2022–23 dip into 2-star territory. Proficiency has risen for three straight years in every subject: math 30.5% → 40.0% → 43.5% → 48.7%; reading 35.7% → 40.7% → 44.8% → 46.5%; and science 12.4% → 13.9% → 27.0%. That math figure is the highest among the ten nearby Clark County elementary schools — ahead of Jenkins Earl N Elementary School (46.2%) and Brookman Eileen B Elementary School (45.5%), whose 70th-percentile rank is the only one higher than Iverson Mervin's in the neighborhood — and it beats the district (33.8%) and state (36.2%). Science (27.0%) is also above district (23.5%) and state (25.5%), and the highest among reporting neighbors.

Chronic absenteeism is the standout operational result: 17.8%, tied with Keller Charlotte & Jerry Elementary School for lowest in the comparison group, well below the district's 27.0% and the state's 25.5%, and about 7 points better than nearby schools — Smith Hal Elementary School is at 41.2%. The school spends $16,052 per student, less than the nearby median, and its 15.0 student–teacher ratio is better than most neighbors. Two things to watch: reading is weaker in grades 3 (38.7%) and 4 (39.7%), below district and state, while grade 5 reading is strong (59.0%); and reading overall (46.5%) trails math, the reverse of the usual pattern.
