Summary

Mackey Jo Middle School is a grades 6–8 school serving 244 students in North Las Vegas, Nevada, as part of Clark County. It is much smaller than the nearby same-district middle schools, which enroll between 866 and 1,333 students, and it reports 100% free/reduced lunch, indicating a high-poverty student population. Its student-teacher ratio improved to 17.4 in 2024–25, down from 23.0 the year before, and is lower than every nearby district middle school.

Academically, the school's strengths are reading and science. In 2025–26, 54.3% of students were proficient in reading — well above the district (43.3%) and state (45.2%) — and 39.0% in science, also above both. Math is the weaker area at 29.5%, below district and state, though still higher than every nearby same-district middle school, which range from 8.4% to 27.4%. Democracy Prep at Agassi Middle posts slightly higher math (29.8%) but much lower reading (32.9%). Mackey ranks 61 of 148 schools statewide at the 59th percentile with 3 stars — the only nearby middle school above the 50th percentile. The next closest, Johnston Carroll M STEM Academy of Env Studies, sits at 86 of 148 (42nd percentile, 2 stars).

Attendance stands out as a major differentiator: chronic absenteeism was 12.0% in 2025–26 and 8.2% in 2024–25, less than half the district and state rates and lower than every nearby school. Two data notes for parents: the school's reported $0 per-student spending for 2023–24 is best treated as unreported rather than a real figure, and Democracy Prep's science score is suppressed, so it should be treated as unknown rather than zero.
