Summary

Keller Duane D Middle School is a grades 6–8 middle school in Las Vegas, Nevada, serving 1,062 students as part of the Clark County district, with 100% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch from 2022–23 through 2024–25.

While the Clark County district overall ranks 5th of 12 districts in Nevada at the 58th percentile with 4 stars, Keller Duane D Middle School sits far below that profile. In 2025–26 it ranked 132nd of 148 middle schools statewide—the 11th percentile, with 1 star—and it has stayed in the bottom decile for years. Test results show the same pattern: 10.6% of students met standards in math, 26.2% in reading, and 13.7% in science, versus state averages of 36.2%, 45.2%, and 25.5%. Eighth-grade math is especially weak at 6.6% proficient. Reading is the relative bright spot—higher than at every nearby low-performing district school, including Smith J D Middle School, Martin Roy W Middle School, Von Tobel Educational Middle School, and Harney Kathleen & Tim Middle School—though it is still about 19 points below the state.

Chronic absenteeism was 33.3% in 2025–26, above the district's 27.0% and the state's 25.5%, but improved from 47.7% in 2022–23. Nearby, O'Callaghan Mike Middle School i3 Learn Academy (1.59 miles away) reports 11.8% absenteeism along with 44.3% math, 55.4% reading, and 48.7% science, despite similar enrollment, a similar 22.8 student-teacher ratio, and slightly lower per-student spending ($12,282 vs. Keller's $12,664). Knudson K O Academy of the Arts also outperforms Keller with 14.3% absenteeism. Keller's own spending rose from $7,981 per student in 2020–21 to $12,664 in 2023–24, and class size fell to 22.5, yet proficiency remains among the lowest in its comparison group.
