Summary
O'Callaghan Mike Middle School i3 Learn Academy is a grades 6–8 school in Las Vegas, NV, serving 1,419 students in the Clark County School District, where 100% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch. Statewide, it is a 4-star school ranked 39th of 148 Nevada middle schools in 2025–2026 (74th percentile). That is far above every nearby school: the next best is Knudson K O Academy of the Arts at 87th of 148 (41st percentile, 2 stars), while other nearby schools rank 112th–146th and mostly hold 0 or 1 star.
In 2025–2026, O'Callaghan's test proficiency was 44.3% in math, 55.4% in reading, and 48.7% in science—higher than district and state averages and higher than every nearby school. For comparison, the best nearby math score was 18.6%, and nearby schools ranged from 10.4% to 19.0% in math; the best nearby reading score was 41.2%. Chronic absenteeism is another standout: O'Callaghan's rate is 11.8%, compared with 27.0% in the district and 25.5% statewide, and nearby schools range from 14.3% to 37.4%. The school's absenteeism rate dropped from 27.6% in 2021–2022 and has stayed near 10–12% recently.
O'Callaghan is the largest school in its nearby comparison group, with 1,419 students, per-student spending of $12,282 in 2023–24, and a student-teacher ratio of 22.8 in 2024–25. Nearby schools enroll 866–1,292 students, spend $11,614–$14,404 per student, and have ratios of 15.9–24.8. Some nearby schools spend more per student but perform much lower, suggesting that spending and class size alone do not explain the school's results. The available subgroup rankings are only from 2017–2018, when the school was low-performing overall, so current subgroup data would be needed to show whether recent gains are broad-based. Overall, O'Callaghan is a clear turnaround story and a strong outlier among nearby middle schools.
