Summary

Harney Kathleen & Tim Middle School is a large Clark County School District middle school in Las Vegas, NV, serving grades 6–8 with 1,292 students. In 2025–2026, it ranked 146th of 148 Nevada middle schools, at the 1st percentile with 0 stars, even though the Clark County district is ranked 5th of 12 in Nevada at the 58th percentile with 4 stars. The school’s rank has fallen sharply over the past decade, from the 39th percentile in 2017–2018 to the 1st percentile now.

For 2025–2026, all-grade proficiency was 10.4% in Math, 19.5% in Reading, and 11.7% in Science—far below district and state averages. Among nine nearby same-district middle schools, Harney had the lowest Math and Science scores, and its Reading score was third-lowest, behind Bailey Dr William H Middle School (19.2%) and Mack Jerome Middle School (19.4%). Chronic absenteeism was 37.4%, compared with 27.0% in the district and 25.5% statewide; it has improved from 56.8% in 2021–2022 but remained the second-highest among nearby peers, behind Cortney Francis H Junior High School (39.1%). Math proficiency has edged up from 5.9% in 2023–2024 to 10.4% in 2025–2026, but Reading has stayed around one-fifth proficient, and Science has dropped from 18.1% to 11.7%.

Resource measures are also less favorable than those of nearby same-district peers: Harney has the highest student-teacher ratio (24.8) and the lowest per-student spending ($11,614) among them. All nearby same-district schools report 100% free/reduced lunch, so Harney is not unique in serving an economically disadvantaged population. O'Callaghan Mike Middle School i3 Learn Academy also reports 100% free/reduced lunch but has much lower chronic absenteeism (11.8%), a lower student-teacher ratio (22.8), slightly higher spending ($12,282), and much higher proficiency (Math 44.3%, Reading 55.4%, Science 48.7%); Harney trails by about 33.9 points in Math, 35.9 points in Reading, and 37.0 points in Science. The bottom line is that Harney is at or near the bottom of its peer group and the state, with some improvement in absenteeism and Math but still very weak Reading and Science and a long-term negative trajectory.

Open Quote I have had 4 children attend this school over the last 14 years. Each year that passes the school has degraded in the care and safety of the children. From teachers not even knowing if a student is present in class to out right letting children be bullied and doing nothing, this school needs some serious reorganization of its staff and priorities!

Open Quote My son went to Harney Middle School last year and had the worst school year ever! I'm not saying that he was a saint but the staff was not trying at all. I guess they just seen him as another male not trying so why help him or contact me. When they did contract me it was almost to late. It just so happen that me and dad both work for the Clark County School District and we stayed on them and him. Me and my husband visit the school all the time and our son passed but he only passed because of our effort to help him not the staff. We have a great son but tends to need a little more help we told teachers that, we just wish they would have acted on that. The staff are really weak minded and tend to have lots of excuses.

Open Quote I like the school and many students attending the school as well as all the teachers I know who have been assigned to teach my son, Alexijosh B. Baldazo. I am looking forward to having a parent-teacher conference next week to tell the teacher how happy I am that my son is attending Tim & Kathleen Harney Middle School. Close Quote
