Summary
Bailey Dr William H Middle School is a public middle school in Las Vegas, Nevada, serving grades 6–8 with 1,121 students in the Clark County School District, located at 2500 N Hollywood Blvd in a high-poverty neighborhood where 100% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.
Academically, Bailey ranks near the bottom. In 2025–2026 it ranked 144 of 148 Nevada middle schools, at the 3rd percentile with 0 stars — following 149/151, 152/153, and 143/152 in the three prior years, so this is a long-standing pattern rather than a one-year dip. All-grade proficiency was 10.9% in math, 19.2% in reading, and 13.1% in science, compared with 33.8%, 43.3%, and 23.5% across the district. Among nearby same-district schools, Bailey's reading score is the lowest of the group, and its math and science scores are near the bottom as well. Eighth grade is the weakest point: math 6.2% and reading 15.5%, compared with 15% in 6th-grade math and 21.6% in 7th-grade reading.
Attendance is the bright spot. Chronic absenteeism fell from 57.9% in 2022–2023 to 26.0% in 2025–2026, now slightly better than the district's 27.0% and close to the state's 25.5%, and better than several nearby schools including Harney Kathleen & Tim Middle School and Monaco Mario C & JoAnne Middle School. Achievement has not followed, however. Per-student spending rose from $8,576 in 2020–2021 to $12,681 in 2023–2024, and the student-teacher ratio improved from 31 to 22.8. Notably, O'Callaghan Mike Middle School i3 Learn Academy, just 1.41 miles away, also reports 100% free/reduced lunch, spends $12,282 per student, and shares the same 22.8 ratio — yet posts 44.3% math, 55.4% reading, 48.7% science, and 11.8% chronic absenteeism. That contrast suggests school-level practices and programs may matter a great deal.
