Summary

Lyon Mack Middle School in Overton, NV is a small public middle school serving about 401 students in grades 6–8, located in a community with no other schools within 20 miles and part of the Clark County School District.

For parents, the headline is strong and steady: in 2025–2026, the school ranked 33rd of 148 Nevada middle schools (78th percentile, 4 stars), well above its district’s 58th-percentile, 4-star standing. It has never dropped below 4 stars in the ten years on record and earned 5 stars in 2017–2018. Students beat district and state proficiency averages in every subject: math 52.7% vs. 33.8% district and 36.2% state; reading 53.7% vs. 43.3% and 45.2%; and science 45.8% vs. 23.5% and 25.5%. Science is the standout, nearly double the district rate. The school also reports 100% free/reduced-price lunch eligibility and high per-student spending—$18,973 in 2023–2024—and its student–teacher ratio improved from 18.6 to 15.4 in 2024–2025.

The biggest recent success is attendance: chronic absenteeism fell from 49.3% in 2021–2022 to 24.2% in 2025–2026, moving from worse than the state to better than both district and state. The main warning sign is math: proficiency slipped from 60.3% in 2022–2023 to 52.7% in 2025–2026, and the state percentile eased from 83 to 78. The internal weak spot is 7th-grade math at 47.1%, compared with 58.9% in 6th grade and 51.6% in 8th. Reading is the thinnest advantage over peers, while science is volatile because 8th-grade science cohorts are small. With no nearby schools for direct comparison, families should weigh these district and state benchmarks, plus the school’s consistent 4-star record, against the recent math trend.
