The student-teacher ratio is 16.7, mid-range among district peers and much lower than nearby charters such as Amplus Rainbow (30.6), Doral Academy West Pebble (27.5), and Legacy Traditional School Southwest Las Vegas (39.3).

Among nearby schools, Steele trails Mathis Dr. Beverly S Elementary School and Tanaka Wayne N Elementary School in math and reading proficiency, is similar to Alamo Tony Elementary School, and leads Snyder Don & Dee Elementary School, Ries Aldeane Comito Elementary School, Fine Mark L Elementary School, and Wright William V Elementary School. The nearby charters—Amplus Rainbow, Doral Academy West Pebble, and Legacy Traditional School Southwest Las Vegas—post higher raw proficiency and lower absenteeism, but they serve far fewer low-income students and have much higher student-teacher ratios. Grade-level patterns show math declining from 3rd grade (59.8%) to 5th grade (40.9%); reading is 54.9% in 3rd, 46.8% in 4th, and 50.4% in 5th, with 5th-grade reading slightly below district and state. Overall, Steele remains above average with strong math and reading, but science and upper-grade reading need attention.

Open Quote Excellent school. Close Quote

Open Quote My daughter learned a lot from kindergarten to 2nd grade. She always have a wonderful teacher, I like their math fast, where a first and 2nd grade they learn how to do a quick math. I would like them to encourage students to be more assertive and show their talents. My daughter just started having an interest in piano which she says she is learning music at school and now she wants to learn more. As I was reading other parents comments, I hope the teachers and principal would be more watching the bullying issue..it is a very quiet and well disciplined school but we sometimes missed little things. If there is a kid being bullied teachers/principal need to investigate very well. Close Quote

Open Quote My daughter has been attending since K (she's entering 3rd this year). I love this school. The principal is "old school" (no nonsense) and I LOVE that as a parent. Our daughter has never had a teacher we've not appreciated or respected. Its a fun, positive learning environment. Close Quote
