Summary

Johnston Carroll M Middle School is a public middle school in North Las Vegas, Nevada, serving 1,266 students in grades 6-8. The school is part of the Clark County School District, which is the 5th ranked district out of 12 in Nevada and is rated 4 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

Despite increased funding and resources over the years, Johnston Carroll M Middle School has consistently ranked in the bottom third of Nevada middle schools, maintaining a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger for most of the past decade. The school has faced challenges with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 25.6% to 31.4% in recent years, significantly higher than state and district averages. Additionally, the school's performance on state assessments is particularly low for certain student subgroups, including male students, multi-racial students, and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds.

When compared to nearby middle schools in the same district, such as Lied STEM Academy Middle School, which is about 5 miles away, Johnston Carroll M Middle School performs significantly worse on metrics like mathematics and reading proficiency. This disparity in performance may be attributed to the high poverty rates in the area, as all the middle schools near Johnston Carroll M Middle School have 100% of their students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.
