Summary

Lawrence Clifford J Junior High School is a middle school in Las Vegas, Nevada (Clark County), serving grades 6–8 with 1,227 students. In 2025–2026 it ranked 93rd of 148 Nevada middle schools—the 37th percentile, with a 2-star rating—while its district ranks higher overall at 4 stars, so the school is currently performing below its district's general standing.

The school's long-term trend shows decline. From 2015–16 through 2017–18 it was a 3-star school in the 60th–66th percentile, then fell to the 47th percentile in 2018–19 and dropped sharply to the 6th percentile and 0 stars in 2020–21, plateauing in the 36th–39th percentile since. Proficiency is below district and state: math 20.9%, reading 38.2%, and 8th-grade science 25.0%. Among nearby schools, only Cashman James Middle School and Garside Frank F Junior High School score lower, while Rogich Sig Middle School ranks 10th statewide. Chronic absenteeism is 28.2%—above district and state and higher than 9 of 10 nearby schools, up from 25.2% the year before.

Spending is high: $13,895 per student in 2023–24, second-highest among nearby schools, yet outcomes trail most of them—Rogich Sig Middle School spends $9,225 and ranks far higher. The student–teacher ratio, 20.4, is moderate and not an obvious outlier. Every nearby school reports 100% free/reduced lunch, so poverty alone doesn't explain the differences. Specific weak spots include 7th-grade math at 17.5% and 6th-grade reading at 32.8%; 8th-grade reading at 39.6% is the relative bright spot, slightly above district. Science has been volatile, falling from 35.4% to 25.0%.
