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
