Summary

Cannon Helen C Junior High School is a grades 6–8 middle school in Las Vegas, NV, within the Clark County School District, enrolling 730 students and serving a high-poverty population—100% of students were eligible for free or reduced lunch in recent years.

The school’s current overall standing is very low: 139th of 148 Nevada middle schools, 6th percentile, 0 stars. That is far below its district; Clark County ranks 5th of 12 districts, at the 58th percentile with 4 stars. The school has declined from about the 30th percentile in 2017–2018 to the 6th percentile in 2025–2026. Proficiency is below district and state in every tested subject: math 10.4% (vs. 33.8% district and 36.2% state), reading 23.1% (vs. 43.3% and 45.2%), and science 10.4% (vs. 23.5% and 25.5%). Eighth grade is the weakest point, with 6.8% math, 15.3% reading, and 10.4% science. Chronic absenteeism is 31.6%, above district (27.0%) and state (25.5%), though improved from 47.4% in 2021–2022. Spending is $14,787 per student and the student-teacher ratio is 19.2—both relatively favorable nearby—yet outcomes remain among the lowest.

Comparisons with nearby schools are striking. Several same-district schools serving 100% free/reduced-lunch populations score much higher: White Thurman Academy of the Arts Middle School ranks 32nd of 148 with 4 stars and 45.1% math, 63.2% reading, and 44.9% science; Greenspun Barbara & Hank Junior High School, Schofield Jack Lund Middle School, and Knudson K O Academy of the Arts also rank higher. Cortney Francis H Junior High School, Woodbury C W Middle School, and Orr William E Middle School are in the same struggling cluster, with Orr ranked last. Coral Academy Windmill ranks 4th of 148 with 5 stars, but it is a charter for grades 5–7 with much lower poverty (30.31% free/reduced lunch), so it is not directly comparable. Young Womens Leadership Academy of Las Vegas is a small high-poverty charter with higher reading and math in 2025–2026, but it is also not directly comparable. The takeaway: the school needs targeted academic intervention, especially in math, science, and 8th grade, while continuing to improve attendance.
