Summary

Cashman James Middle School is a grades 6–8 middle school in Las Vegas, Nevada, serving 1,043 students as part of the Clark County School District, where 100% of students are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch — a sign of a high-poverty student population. The school's resource picture has improved: per-student spending rose to $13,501 in 2023–24 from $8,236 in 2020–21, and the student-teacher ratio fell to 20.0 in 2024–25 from 31.2 in 2022–23, slightly better than the nearby median of 20.4.

Academically, Cashman is improving but still trails its benchmarks. On the state accountability ranking it placed 105th of 148 middle schools in 2025–26 — the 29th percentile with 2 stars — up from the 20th percentile and 1 star in 2023–24, though below where it stood in 2017–18 (46th percentile, 2 stars). In 2025–26, proficiency was 23.7% in math and 31.6% in reading, both below district (33.8% and 43.3%) and state (36.2% and 45.2%) averages, and below the nearby median in each subject. Science needs a careful look: the all-grade figure of 24.7% is close to the district's 23.5%, but 8th-grade science is 24.7% versus 31.0% district and 33.4% state. Cashman outpaces the lowest-performing neighbors, such as Orr William E Middle School (math 6.5%, reading 15.8%) and Garside Frank F Junior High School (math 14.4%, reading 28.8%), but trails most others nearby, including Hyde Park Middle School about 2.19 miles away, which posts math 46.3%, reading 53.0%, science 45.6%, and 17.4% chronic absenteeism.

Attendance is the most volatile measure here. Cashman's chronic absenteeism dropped to 14.1% in 2024–25 — far better than district and state — then jumped to 29.9% in 2025–26, above the district's 27.0% and the state's 25.5%, and second-highest among nearby schools behind Orr's 41.9%. Older 2017–18 subgroup data also flagged English language learners as an area to monitor. Overall, Cashman is a mid-sized, high-poverty school showing modest academic recovery, especially in math, with reading, 8th-grade science, and steady attendance as its main priorities.

This school is great. The staff is friendly and caring they go out of their way. Our child has made huge strides in overall performance since attending this school. We can't wait to see what the next couple of years will produce from the excellent education she is receiving at Cashman! Close Quote

There are two schools under one roof in James Cashman M.S. 1). Cashman Zone School and 2)Cashman Magnet School...
James Cashman Magnet School is one of the top magnet program in Las Vegas Valley. Dedicated teachers and hard working Principal(Misti Taton)equals great education. I know Cashman M.S. Because my child is in the 3rd year of Cashman Magnet Program.
James Cashman Zone School is also one of top 4 fastest improved middle school in the Clark County School District.
As Parent, I highly recommend James Cashman Magnet Middle School. Close Quote
