Summary

Walker J Marlan Int'l School Elementary School is a PK–5 elementary school in Henderson, NV, enrolling 549 students as part of the Clark County School District. In 2025–2026 it ranked 134th of 376 Nevada elementary schools — the 64th percentile, with 3 stars. That places it above the state median, but well below its own peak: in 2016–2017 and 2017–2018 the school sat at the 94th percentile with 5 stars, and it has slipped steadily since (86th percentile in 2022–2023, 77th in 2023–2024, 66th in 2024–2025, 64th in 2025–2026).

Academically, math and reading remain strengths: 47.6% of students were proficient in math and 55.0% in reading, both above district (33.8% and 43.3%) and state (36.2% and 45.2%) averages. Science is the clear red flag at 14.2%, below district (23.5%) and state (25.5%), and down sharply from 43.0% in 2022–2023. Fifth grade is the weakest grade overall, with math at 35.7% and science at 14.2%, though 5th grade reading (61.2%) is a bright spot. Nearby, Smalley James E & A Rae Elementary School (99th percentile, 5 stars) and McCaw Gordon Elementary School (97th percentile) post far higher scores in every subject, while Dooley John Elementary School and Newton Ulis Elementary School are roughly comparable.

Chronic absenteeism is a genuine positive: 22.1%, down from 26.7% in 2023–2024 and below district (27.0%) and state (25.5%). Walker spends $14,163 per student with a 15.6 student-teacher ratio — moderate spending but a larger class size than many nearby traditional schools. Notably, Smalley achieves much higher results with lower spending and a higher ratio, suggesting resources alone do not explain the gap. Historically, Walker ranked exceptionally high for its student groups, though that data is dated and current subgroup results are not available, so it is unclear whether that strength persists today.

This school is terrible, my daughter was assaulted by another student. She was there for 2 years and now in therapy and afraid of other children. I would walk through this school and really look at all of the staff here before making your decision. Go in a few times ask different staff to answer questions for you. This school needs to be cleaned out. Close Quote
