Summary

Bridger Jim Middle School is a public middle school in North Las Vegas, Nevada, serving grades 6–8 with 1,072 students as part of the Clark County School District. In 2025–2026, it ranked 112th out of 148 Nevada middle schools, placing in the 24th percentile with a 1-star rating. Its history shows a long decline followed by a slight recent uptick, from the 36th–39th percentile in 2015–2016 through 2018–2019 down to the 19th–21st percentile in 2020–2021 through 2022–2023, and then back to the 24th percentile in 2024–2025 and 2025–2026, still at 1 star.

Academically, Bridger Jim has clear strengths and challenges. In 2025–2026, 19.0% of students were proficient in math, 29.7% in reading, and 26.8% in science. Math and reading are well below district and state averages, while science is a relative strength at the all-grades level. By 8th grade, however, science (26.8%) is below district and state. Compared with nearby schools, Bridger Jim outperforms Swainston, Martin, and Smith in all three subjects. It trails higher-performing neighbors Fremont, Knudson, and Mackey in most subjects. The closest comparison, Smith, is only 1.01 miles away with similar enrollment and spending, yet Bridger Jim has higher proficiency in all three subjects and much lower chronic absenteeism.

Chronic absenteeism is the most dramatic positive trend. It fell from 44.8% in 2022–2023 to 21.5% in 2025–2026, moving below both district and state averages and below many nearby schools such as Martin, Monaco, Sedway, Smith, Von Tobel, and Democracy Prep at Agassi Middle. Only Fremont, Knudson, and Mackey are clearly better on this measure. Per-student spending rose to $12,766 in 2023–2024, which is lower than several nearby schools, yet Bridger Jim often achieves better scores and attendance than some of them. The student–teacher ratio improved to 19.4 in 2024–2025. The school serves a 100% economically disadvantaged population, and its recent attendance gains and modest academic progress suggest positive momentum even as math and reading gaps remain substantial.
