I absolutely love this school for my son. He is on the spectrum and deals with almost all the staff and they have been nothing but kind, and communicative about all things! He has improved and learned so much since being here

My 3 children attend Mark Fine Elementary. The school staff/admin and teachers are so nice and helpful. They have always gone above and beyond since my children started attending the school in 2019. The school makes you feel welcomed and important. They have always reached out to me with any issues and have always assisted my children when they need any help. 2 of them have IEP, and have always received updates and progress reports for them. I highly recommend this school.

My reasoning behind the rating of my experience of this school is based upon my experiences and interaction with each individual I have encountered at Mark Fine ES. Before I explain just a few of my bad experiences, I will say this...I have two children that attend this school. My eldest ones teacher for this school year, Ms. Daniel, is actually the ONLY good thing I have experienced at this school! She is an amazing teacher and person! It is very sad to know that my children are at a school that we have been treated so unfairly by and have had many bad experiences with. It has come to the point where I have to finally take the step to change schools, which will be a lot harder for me due to the fact I'll have to be driving them to & from school every day once I do change them, because they won't zoned for bus transportation & I work as well. So that is one of the main reasons why I didn't want to have to change their school. But due to our encounters and my children's poor feeling that they have come to feel about even being at that school, it just breaks my heart hat they even FEEL this way at such a young age! The front office staff has been rude, unwanting to help us, as if we are a problem to them because we are asking them to do something!? Unbelievable. One staff member in particular has been out of line to my kids with his attitude towards them. They way he would talk to them and his interactions. And a few of their teachers they have had during the years they've gone here, well let's just say, have been not very pleasant. Starting out in Kindergarten, that teacher didn't know what she was doing it seems, due to them being somewhat behind so my eldest, when started 1st grade, that teacher had to help get my child to where they needed to be and since then has excelled. With my younger one, I had to switch her teacher because I didn't want the same thing to happen to her! Please, please be careful when looking into having your child/children go here. I am only speaking out to let parents be aware so that they make the best decision for their kids. I wish I had known about this school BEFOREHAND so my children didn't have to go through what they have had to already. I would honestly, strongly urge you to choose a different elementary school for your beautiful, bright children. I wish I had in the beginning.

This school has been great for our family. This will be our third year here, and it gets better every year. We have had nothing but positive encounters will all the teachers our kids have had. The only negatives are the drop off/pick up is a nightmare (but that's to be expected...I have friends in other states, too, and it appears it's just a problem in general); and there is no PTA. I would love to have some sense of parental community at our school like I know some friends of mine have at their kids' schools. Other than that, I am pleased with the quality of education my children are receiving, the care they get from all the staff, and the friendships they are making along the way.

This school is one of Las Vegas worst school every. This school have problem with communication. If you try to call their my main office you will not get no answer and a broke operator that sometime do their job. The transportation will forget your child at lease once a month. But the only one thing a can say about this school is that they are very decepitive and making you thing that your child would be receiving a good education.

Mark L. Fine--stars only apply to enrollment in the 5th grade classrooms. I am concerned about the 5th grade class enrollments of 32 students. Having a new teacher with 32 students does not seem appropriate. What kind of support is this new teacher getting? The star rating is not for the whole school, because I am not that familiar with the school climate. From a retired mentoring teacher

I greatly disagree with the reason that hi school is good. The only thing that is great about ths school is the teacher and the Principal. I in my opinon request a chagne for the assit Principal. She is a very rude and a little the Deans side WE NEED A CHANGE.- past student(now a middle school student)

Mark L. Fine ES is a fantastic school. Awesome principal, great support staff, friendly and helpful front desk, and exceptional teachers. I am blessed and able to volunteer in both of my children's classes, and the whole environment of the school is welcoming and enjoyable. Both of my kid's teachers were so helpful with any and all questions and concerns we had. We feel very blessed that this is our school!! I really can't say enough good things about it!

I have no clue what people don't like about this school. I found the administration (Principal) to be really caring to my concerns. My daughter's teacher was excellent. I wish I had gone here when I was younger. The only weak thing were the other parents in my opinion. They are the ones who seemed not to really care.

My daughter attended Kindergarten at Mark Fine. This school is amazing. I really have no dislikes. Her teacher was amazing. My daughter attended school at another campus this year and I will be putting her back at Mark Fine for next year. Great school, great teachers and great community.

My son is currently in 3rd grade at Fine E.S. This school is hands down one of the best Elementary Schools in all of Las Vegas. The teachers are really on top of things and they care about the students. Ms. Wiley is fantastic. She promptly addresses any issues/questions via email and is great about keeping parent link up to date. My son has special needs I have not once had to ASK for help for him, it has been readily given. The front desk staff is always kind and responsive to your needs. They never make you feel like you are bothering them when you need assistance, as I have encountered at other schools. There are not enough good thins I can say about this school. I am so happy my son is a student at Mark Fine.
