Summary

Greenspun Barbara & Hank Junior High School is a large grade 6–8 middle school serving 1,312 students at 140 N Valle Verde in Henderson, NV, part of the Clark County school district, where it ranks 65th of 148 middle schools statewide — the 56th percentile, or 3 stars, in 2025-2026.

Academically, the school has a distinctive profile: science is the standout, reading is solid, and math is the soft spot. Science proficiency is 39.4%, roughly 15.9 points above both the district and the state. Reading is 46.0%, modestly above the district (43.3%) and state (45.2%). Math is 33.3%, about even with the district but below the state's 36.2%. By grade, 8th grade is the strongest across all three subjects, while 7th-grade math (30.6%) falls under the state's 32% — the clearest place to focus. Among nearby Henderson middle schools, Miller Bob Middle School, Webb Del E Middle School and White Thurman Academy of the Arts Middle School post higher proficiency in every subject, while Cannon Helen C Junior High School and Cortney Francis H Junior High School sit near the bottom of the state.

School climate and resources have been improving. Chronic absenteeism fell from 31.0% in 2021-2022 to 17.7% — below the district's 27.0% and the state's 25.5% — and the student-teacher ratio tightened from 27.9 to 21.5 in a single year. At $10,779 per student, the school spends less than any other Clark County campus compared here, yet lands mid-pack. Even so, its statewide standing has drifted from 4 stars and roughly the 76th–81st percentile (2015-2018) to 3 stars and the 56th–62nd percentile since 2021-2022, partly because peer schools improved faster. Nearby Coral Academy Windmill, a charter about a mile away, ranks 4th of 148, but serves a much smaller, differently structured student body, so it is not a like-for-like comparison.

I go to this school!! ITS THE BEST!! Close Quote

by a parent
Thursday, January 29, 2009

I Personally do not like nor appreciate the way that the staff at this school treat their students as well as the parents of the students they discriminate against one set of students and treat them like a common criminal. I dont think they have a clue on how to handle situations, for one the parents should always be notified immediatley before any action is taken by the administration. The Administration pegs every minority student as a potential problem so they find ways to punish these poor students who have no way to defend themselves. It is absolutely ridiculous having to deal with the administration who take no responsibility for their actions and use their status as a way to not only mentally abuse these kids but to talk down to the parents like they are a child. I do not recommend any parent to send their children to school here, something must be done to change the problems at this school. Close Quote
