Summary
Hickey Liliam Lujan Elementary School is a PK–5 public school in Las Vegas, NV (89156), part of the Clark County School District, serving 617 students in a high-poverty community where available data show 100% free/reduced lunch. In 2025–2026, it ranked 325th of 376 Nevada elementary schools—14th percentile, 1 star—after mostly 2nd–14th percentile and 0–1 stars since 2020–2021. All-grade math proficiency was 16.7%, reading was 29.1%, and science was state-suppressed, so it should not be treated as a zero or weakness. Chronic absenteeism was 37.4%.
Compared with nearby same-district elementary schools, Hickey trails most in academics. Its 16.7% math and 29.1% reading are below Clark County’s district averages (33.8% math, 43.3% reading) and Nevada’s state averages (36.2% math, 45.2% reading). Among nearby schools, only King Junior Martin Luther Elementary School (13.2% math, 21.3% reading) and Lynch Ann Elementary School (15.8% math, 19.5% reading) were lower. Miller Sandy Searles Elementary School (48.0% math, 58.9% reading), Brookman Eileen B Elementary School (45.5% math, 56.2% reading), and Keller Charlotte & Jerry Elementary School (37.9% math, 45.6% reading) showed stronger outcomes despite also reporting 100% free/reduced lunch. Hickey’s chronic absenteeism was 37.4%, higher than most nearby schools; only Lynch (38.9%) was higher, while Miller was 8.6% and Keller 17.8%.
Hickey spent $20,399 per student in 2023–2024, second-highest among nearby same-district schools behind Mountain View Elementary School, and more than Miller, Keller, and Brookman. Its student–teacher ratio of 18.1 is similar to Brookman and lower than King and Lynch, so staffing alone does not explain the proficiency gap. Reading has improved from 22.0% in 2023–2024 to 27.4% in 2024–2025 and 29.1% in 2025–2026, but math has been volatile and low: 16.9%, then 19.0%, then 16.7%. By grade, reading was 33.3% in 3rd, 31.1% in 4th, and 23.8% in 5th; math was available only for 3rd grade at 28.3%, while 4th- and 5th-grade math were state-suppressed. The clearest priorities are attendance and foundational reading and math, especially by 5th grade.
