Academic performance
Each year, state and local education agencies use tests and other standards to assess student proficiency. Although the data below was published by the U.S. Department of Education, proficiency measurements are established by the states. As a result, proficiency levels are not comparable between different states and year-over-year proficiency levels within a district may not be comparable because states may change their proficiency measurements.[14]
The following table shows the percentage of district students who scored at or above the proficiency level each school year:

Noteworthy events
2012-2014: State conducts investigation into test results at district elementary school
The Nevada Department of Education conducted a two-year investigation into allegations of cheating on state tests by employees of Matt Kelly Elementary School. These allegations stemmed from a significant change in proficiency scores by students at Kelly Elementary between 2011 and 2012. The state's findings were published in April 2014 and found that the district failed to maintain accurate records of personnel responsible for test administration in 2012, and that district officials failed to conduct a more rigorous investigation of test irregularities. Score results from 2012 were invalidated and district administrators conducted testing at Kelly Elementary in 2014. The district responded by placing Associate Superintendent Andre Denson and two school administrators on indefinite paid leave pending review of the report.[15]
2013-2014: High school graduation rates evaluated for potential inflation
Clark County School District's high school graduation rates were investigated by state officials following a significant change in 2013: the district's graduation rate increased by 10 percent in 2013, which contributed to an eight-percent increase for the state graduation rate. State officials worked with the U.S. Department of Education to evaluate the district's calculation of graduation rates. The evaluation found that the district excluded high school seniors who had transferred into adult education programs without earning diplomas or earned high school equivalency degrees not considered diplomas when calculating graduation rates. Federal officials asked school administrators across the country to calculate graduation rates by following each freshman class through a four-year period. This policy was not strictly followed by state education officials, who allowed districts to exclude adult education students from the four-year graduation rate. The 2013 graduate rates were not adjusted. In 2014, the graduation rate report included previously omitted students.[16]
