Summary

Mack Jerome Middle School is a mid-sized Clark County School District middle school in Las Vegas, Nevada, serving about 947 students in grades 6–8 at 4250 Karen Ave. Its district ranks 5th of 12 Nevada districts with 4 stars, but the school itself ranks 142nd of 148 Nevada schools in 2025–26 — the 4th percentile — with 0 stars, and its percentile has never exceeded 13 in the years provided.

The school serves a very high-poverty population: 100% of students qualified for free or reduced lunch in 2022–23, 2023–24, and 2024–25. In 2025–26, proficiency was 11% in math, 19.4% in reading, and 15.1% in science, compared with district rates of 33.8%, 43.3%, and 23.5% and state rates of 36.2%, 45.2%, and 25.5%. Math and reading are therefore roughly 25 and 26 percentage points below the state. Chronic absenteeism was 35.2%, above the district's 27.0% and the state's 25.5%, though far improved from 55.1% in 2022–23. The 2024–25 student-teacher ratio was 20.5, and spending was $12,286 per student in 2023–24.

Compared with nearby Clark County middle schools, Mack Jerome Middle School has higher math proficiency than Orr William E Middle School (6.5%) and Harney Kathleen & Tim Middle School (10.4%), and is close to Cortney Francis H Junior High School, Keller Duane D Middle School, and Woodbury C W Middle School. Reading, at 19.4%, is below the median of this group. Science, at 15.1%, is exactly the median. Chronic absenteeism is high but not the worst nearby. Fremont John C Professional Dev Middle School (48.5% reading) and Knudson K O Academy of the Arts (41.2% reading) show much stronger results nearby, while Young Womens Leadership Academy of Las Vegas also has high reading, but its science result is suppressed by the state and unknown. The most actionable focus areas are math and reading achievement, 6th-grade reading (14.4%), and continued attendance improvement.

This school is a joke. I complain they say next my daughter has an A in the class wow. Close Quote

This school has to be the worst school I've ever been involved with. They just assume let your child fail rather than put any extra effort in. These teachers and staff DON"T love their job,it's just a job.My son missed 8 of 16 days and NOT ONE teacher offered make up work. He has missing assignments with F's on his parent link. And their Parentlink participation is a joke. The P.E. teacher went 5 WEEKS without marking anything,then updates that my son has an F. E-mails to the principle go without response. THEY ARE RANKED 75TH OUT OF 78 IN THE STATE!!! PATHETIC! Close Quote
