Better than 22% of Nevada middle schools

Summary

Molasky Irwin & Susan Junior High School is a public middle school in the Clark County School District in Las Vegas, Nevada, serving about 912 students in grades 6 through 8. It reports 100% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, and per-student spending was $15,886 in 2023–2024. The district overall is ranked 5th of 12 in Nevada (58th percentile) with a 4-star rating, but that district-level picture is separate from the school's own rating.

By its own measures, the school sits in the bottom quartile of Nevada middle schools: in 2025–2026 it ranked 116 of 148 (22nd percentile, 1 star). The trend, however, is improving — up from 139 of 151 (8th percentile, 0 stars) in 2021–2022. In 2025–2026, 14.4% of students were proficient in math, 28.8% in reading, and 17.1% in science, compared with district rates of 33.8%, 43.3%, and 23.5%, and state rates of 36.2%, 45.2%, and 25.5%. Math is the largest gap, at roughly 22 points below the state. Eighth grade is the weakest year by far: math 10.2%, reading 23.5%, and science 17.1%.

Chronic absenteeism was 26.4% in 2025–2026 — below the district's 27.0% and far better than the school's own 50.8% in 2021–2022, though above the state's 25.5%. Among nearby Clark County middle schools, Molasky spends near the top of the group ($15,886, second only to Brinley J Harold Middle School's $15,995) and has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 20.2, yet its proficiency is near the bottom locally. Leavitt Justice Myron E Middle School, 1.16 miles away, posts higher math, reading, and science while spending $11,160 per student, and Lied STEM Academy Middle School — at $11,107 per student with just 9.5% chronic absenteeism — reaches 59.8% math and 63.1% reading. Molasky does outperform Swainston Theron L Middle School and Brinley in rank percentile and roughly matches Garside Frank F Junior High School in math and reading. The takeaway: genuine improvement since 2021–2022, but math, science, 8th-grade outcomes, and attendance remain the priorities.

I love this school, yes theres fights and other things but in my opinion all the teachers are nice (some of them) but either way I love this school Close Quote

First of all, this school doesn't even deserve one star! I recently moved here, and we ignored all the bad reviews, so I suggest you don't do the same! Do NOT move here! The girl next to me didn't even know what STATE she lived in! This school is pathetic! I'm moving back to my old school this Summer (If you want good schools go to the East Coast!) The teachers here are just plain rude and nasty! My first day of school I asked the secretary where you waited for parent pickup, and she rolled her eyes at me. I told her I was new and she said "Why don't you just call your parents?" Then got back to her work. My English teacher SWEARS at the students! Speaking of the students, they are TERRIBLE. They are loud, lazy, rude, and self concerned! I was the only one out of a class of 30 students to complete the easiest project on time! They are incredibly inappropriate, to the point where I don't even want to be in the same room with them. Nevada is ranked about number 48 in education out of the states! Half this school is illiterate and you'll find yourself having no help because the help is all focused on the children who can't read or write, which in return makes your own grades fail. These children should be held back, not moved to high school next year! This school district is overall a failure! I'm so embarrassed to call this my school! Do yourself and your child a huge favor and do not move here! Close Quote
