Summary

Fertitta Victoria Middle School is a 6–8 middle school at 9905 W Mesa Vista Ave in Las Vegas, Nevada, serving 1,172 students as part of the Clark County School District. In 2025–2026 it ranked 53rd of 148 Nevada middle schools — the 64th percentile, earning 3 stars — while the district ranked 5th of 12 in the state.

Test scores are the school's strongest selling point. In 2025–2026, proficiency was above both district and state averages in every tested subject: Math 41.8% (vs. 33.8% district, 36.2% state), Reading 49.5% (vs. 43.3% and 45.2%), and Science 42.8% — nearly double the district's 23.5% and the state's 25.5%. Among 10 nearby middle schools, Fertitta ranks third in all three subjects, behind only Rogich Sig Middle School and Gunderson Barry and June Middle School, and ahead of the other eight, including its closest neighbor Faiss Wilbur & Theresa Middle School. Attendance is another standout: chronic absenteeism was just 15.6%, lower than every comparison school and far below the district's 27.0% and the state's 25.5%.

Context matters here. Fertitta was a 4-star school in the 83rd–89th percentile from 2015–2016 through 2018–2019, and since 2020–2021 it has settled into a stable 3-star, mid-60s percentile profile — recent years hovered between the 60th and 66th percentile rather than continuing to slide. The school serves a high-poverty population, with 100% of students eligible for free/reduced lunch in recent years, and spends $12,082 per student — less than most nearby schools — while still ranking third locally in achievement. Seventh- and eighth-grade reading (53.0% and 51.7%) are particularly strong, and eighth-grade science (42.8%) is a signature strength. Historical data from 2017–2018 showed very strong results for low-income, English learner, and special education students. Overall, Fertitta is a solidly above-average school that outperforms district and state averages and most nearby schools.
