Summary

Snyder Don & Dee Elementary School is a public elementary school in Las Vegas, Nevada, serving 693 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.

Snyder Don & Dee Elementary consistently outperforms the district and state averages in both math and reading proficiency. For example, in 2024-2025, the school had 54% of students proficient or better in SBAC/Reading for All Grades, compared to 43.9% for Clark County and 45.6% for Nevada. However, the school faces challenges with a high rate of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 23.1% to 31.3% over the past few years, significantly higher than the state average. Additionally, 100% of the school's students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high-poverty student population.

Compared to nearby schools, Snyder Don & Dee Elementary performs well, but public charter schools like Doral Academy Cactus and Legacy Traditional School Southwest Las Vegas have significantly higher test scores, despite serving a more economically diverse student population. The school's statewide ranking has fluctuated over the years, suggesting a need to identify and address any underlying factors that may be contributing to the inconsistent performance.

Terrible school. Office staff is clueless and lazy. Principle is never there, and the assistant principle is a waste of space. Close Quote
