Summary

Von Tobel Educational Middle School is a grades 6–8 middle school in Las Vegas, Nevada, serving 866 students as part of the Clark County School District. In 2025–2026 it ranked 135th of 148 Nevada middle schools, placing it in the 9th percentile with 0 stars — a bottom-decile result that continues a long pattern (145th of 151 in 2024–2025, and 148th of 153 in 2023–2024).

Proficiency is low across the board. Math proficiency is 11.7% (versus 33.8% district and 36.2% state), reading is 21.1% (versus 43.3% district and 45.2% state), and science is 19.3% (versus 23.5% district and 25.5% state). Chronic absenteeism is 29.6%, modestly above district and state. Locally, Von Tobel's math rate is slightly better than Bailey, Keller, Sedway, Smith, and Monaco, but well below Mackey (29.5%), Knudson (18.6%), Democracy Prep at Agassi Middle, and Bridger. Reading is a clearer weakness: only Bailey is lower nearby, while Mackey reaches 54.3%. Science is comparatively stronger — middle-of-the-pack locally.

There are real signs of improvement, though from a very low base. Math rose from 7.3% in 2023–2024 to 11.7%, science from 12.2% in 2022–2023 to 19.3%, and chronic absenteeism fell from 50.5% in 2021–2022 to 29.6%. Reading has stayed essentially flat, moving between 17.3% and 22.9% over four years. Notably, Von Tobel spends $13,495 per student and reports an 18.8:1 student-teacher ratio — both relatively favorable nearby — yet results remain near the bottom. Since surrounding schools such as Mackey, Knudson, and Bridger serve similarly high-poverty populations and post much higher scores, the local context suggests instructional quality, attendance, and targeted support matter more than resource levels alone. Eighth grade is the weakest point: 10.0% in math and 18.6% in reading.
