Summary

Faiss Wilbur & Theresa Middle School is a Clark County School District middle school at 9525 W Maule Ave. in Las Vegas, NV, serving about 1,284 students in grades 6–8. The broader Clark County district ranks 5th of 12 Nevada districts (58th percentile, 4 stars), so the district context is mid-to-upper tier.

Academically, the school performed above both district and state averages in all three tested subjects in 2025–2026. Science is its signature strength: 36.5% proficient versus 23.5% district and 25.5% state — a standout given its overall rank, nearly matching Tarkanian Lois & Jerry Middle School (36.4%). Reading is also solid at 48.2% (district 43.3%, state 45.2%), while math is more modest at 36.9%, only slightly above the state and just below the nearby median of 38.3%. The reading–math gap of more than 11 points is the clearest academic pattern, and math is weakest in 8th grade (32.6%).

Chronic absenteeism is one of the school's biggest differentiators: 16.4% in 2025–2026 versus 27.0% district and 25.5% state — the second-lowest among nearby schools, just behind Fertitta Victoria Middle School (15.6%), and down sharply from 36.2% in 2022–2023. The school ranks 58th of 148 statewide (61st percentile, 3 stars), essentially the median of its nearby peers — ahead of Johnson Walter Junior High School Academy of Int'l Studies, Sawyer Grant Middle School, Lawrence Clifford J Junior High School and Cashman James Middle School, roughly comparable to Guinn Kenny C Middle School and Canarelli Lawrence & Heidi Middle School, but behind Rogich Sig Middle School, Gunderson Barry and June Middle School and Tarkanian Lois & Jerry Middle School. It has improved from a 2020–2021 low (37th percentile, 2 stars), though it remains below its 2017–2018 peak (70th percentile, 4 stars). Historical 2017–2018 subgroup data showed relatively strong results for English Language Learner and low-SES students.
