Summary

Brinley J Harold Middle School is a Clark County middle school in Las Vegas, Nevada serving about 885 students in grades 6 through 8, in a district that ranks 5th of 12 in Nevada at the 58th percentile. The school itself is rated 1 star and ranked 126th of 148 Nevada middle schools in 2025–2026, placing it in the 15th percentile and the bottom fifth of the state. That is actually an improvement: earlier years sat at the 1st–5th percentile with 0 stars, and recent years have landed between the 12th and 18th percentile.

Academically, math is the clearest concern. Just 12.5% of students were proficient in math in 2025–2026, about 21 points below the district (33.8%) and nearly 24 points below the state. Reading was stronger at 25.5%, though still roughly 18–20 points below district and state averages, and science came in at 19.4%. The math weakness appears in every grade, so it is not a single-grade anomaly. Chronic absenteeism was 27.7%, above both the district (27.0%) and state (25.5%) rates, but it has fallen steadily from 47.1% in 2021–2022. Brinley spends $15,995 per student—the highest among comparable nearby schools—with a student–teacher ratio of 20.5, yet those resource advantages have not translated into higher achievement.

Compared with nearby schools, Brinley sits in a lower-performing cluster alongside Molasky Irwin & Susan Junior High School, Swainston Theron L Middle School, and Garside Frank F Junior High School—all 1-star schools with math proficiency in the low teens. Brinley slightly outperforms Swainston and is roughly even with the other two. The gap to higher-performing neighbors is large: Lied STEM Academy Middle School posts 59.8% math, 63.1% reading, and 49.5% science, while Hyde Park Middle School reaches 46.3% math, 53.0% reading, and 45.6% science. Even Gibson Robert O Middle School Leadership Academy, with similar spending and class size, outperforms Brinley in all three subjects. The school's challenges appear school-wide rather than limited to one group of students, suggesting attendance and classroom instruction are the key levers for improvement.
