Summary

Findlay Clifford O Middle School is a 6–8 public middle school at 333 W Tropical Pkwy in North Las Vegas, Nevada, serving roughly 1,333 students in the Clark County school district, where free/reduced-lunch participation was 100% in 2024–25 and 2023–24.

Academically, Findlay ranks 141st of 148 Nevada middle schools — the 5th percentile, with 0 stars — and it has landed below the 30th percentile every year on record. In 2025–26, 8.4% of students were proficient in math, 21.5% in reading, and 16.9% in science, against district rates of 33.8%, 43.3%, and 23.5%. Of 10 nearby schools, Findlay has the lowest overall rank; only Sedway Marvin M Middle School, 3.15 miles away, is close at 140th. Math is the deepest hole, at roughly one-quarter of the district rate, while reading and science are relatively stronger. Two nearby schools show what is possible: Lied STEM Academy Middle School (3.88 miles away) enrolls more students, receives less per-student funding, and posts far higher proficiency (59.8% math, 63.1% reading), and Johnston Carroll M STEM Academy of Env Studies, 1.28 miles away, outperforms Findlay in all three subjects with lower spending and a smaller class size.

Chronic absenteeism was 38.4% in 2025–26 — second-highest among the nearby schools and well above district (27.0%) and state (25.5%) rates — though it has improved from 53.9% in 2021–22. Spending per student rose from $7,812 (2020–21) to $12,543 (2023–24), and the student–teacher ratio improved from 38.9 to 24.2, yet proficiency and rank barely moved. Because nearby schools serving the same 100%-low-income population with comparable or lower funding achieve much better results, Findlay's outcomes appear tied to school-level practice rather than student intake.

findlay middle school has been nothing but trouble and a source of stress ever since my daughters started there. The teachers seem more immature than the students. Their dress code policies are insane. My daughters have spent more time out of school than in, due to getting kicked out for dress code. Education is not a priority in this school, which is really sad for our future. What ever you do- DON'T SEND YOUR CHILDREN HERE if you love them. Close Quote
