Summary
Cram Brian & Teri Middle School is a grades 6–8 middle school in North Las Vegas, NV, part of the Clark County district, enrolling 1,431 students — one of the larger middle schools in its local comparison group. Reported free/reduced-lunch participation is 100%, and per-student spending has climbed from $8,197 in 2020–21 to $11,573 in 2023–24, with a student-teacher ratio of 21.6 in 2024–25. Statewide, it currently ranks 98/148, in the 34th percentile with 2 stars — a step down from its 3-star, 60th–66th percentile years in 2017–18 and 2018–19.
Academically, the profile is mixed. Math is the biggest gap: 21.9% proficient, versus 33.8% district and 36.2% state. Reading is 33.5%, versus 43.3% district and 45.2% state. Science is a relative bright spot at 30.6%, above the district All Grades figure of 23.5% and the state figure of 25.5%, though it looks roughly even with district and state in the 8th Grade Science row. Grade-level data shows the math weakness is sharpest in 6th grade (21.0%) and 7th grade (19.9%), with a much narrower 8th-grade gap (24.7%). Nearby schools with similar size and spending post much stronger results — Lied STEM Academy (1,567 students, $11,107) ranks 21/148 and Cadwallader Ralph Middle School (1,519 students, $10,345) ranks 48/148 — so size and funding alone don't explain the difference.
Chronic absenteeism is a clear weak point at 31.9%, above the district (27.0%) and state (25.5%) rates, and worse than most nearby schools except Findlay Clifford O Middle School and Sedway Marvin M Middle School, which have the weakest results locally. Still, Cram sits well above the lowest-performing nearby cluster, including Bridger Jim Middle School and Swainston Theron L Middle School. For families, the takeaway is that middle-grade math and attendance look like the highest-leverage areas for improvement, with science as a strength to build on.
