Summary

Garrett Elton M Junior High School is a middle school in Boulder City, Nevada, serving grades 6–8 with 399 students as part of the Clark County School District. In 2025–2026 it ranked 34th of 148 Nevada middle schools — the 77th percentile, with 4 stars — and it has stayed in the top quartile statewide for five straight years after a dip in 2020–2021. Earlier years show it was once a top-10 statewide middle school with 5 stars.

Test scores are above both district and state averages in every subject: 45.0% proficient in math, 60.1% in reading, and 49.1% in science. Science is the standout — nearly double the district and state rates, and higher than every nearby school except Miller Bob and Webb Del E. Reading has climbed from 50.8% in 2022–2023 to 60.1%. Chronic absenteeism (23.7%) is better than the district (27.0%) and state (25.5%) and improved from 31.6% in 2022–2023, though several nearby Henderson schools sit lower, between 15.8% and 18.7%. One internal weak spot: 8th-grade math at 34.4%, below the school's own 6th- and 7th-grade math, though still above district and state averages.

Among 11 regional comparison schools (8–16 miles away, mostly in Henderson and Las Vegas), Garrett Elton M ranks fifth, trailing Coral Academy Windmill (97th percentile), Miller Bob (85th), Webb Del E (80th) and Mannion Jack & Terry (80th), and roughly level with White Thurman (78th). It spends the most per student in the group, $17,907, while enrolling the fewest students, yet schools spending far less post similar or stronger math and reading results. Its small size and high spending reflect Boulder City's smaller, geographically distinct community.
