Summary:

ZIP code 89005 covers Boulder City, Nevada, and is home to four schools in Clark County that together form a complete PK–12 pipeline — Mitchell Andrew Elementary School (PK–2), King Martha P Elementary School (3–5), Garrett Elton M Junior High School (6–8), and Boulder City High School (9–12) — enrolling 1,735 students in total.

All three schools with test data score above district and state averages. King has the strongest profile, ranked in the 85th percentile with 4 stars: 56.7% proficient in math, 65.3% in reading, and 40.4% in science, versus state figures of 36.2%, 45.2%, and 25.5%. Garrett also earns 4 stars (77th percentile) with 45% math, 60.1% reading, and 49.1% science — nearly double the state science rate. Boulder City High (70th percentile, 4 stars) posts 65.6% ACT English and 41.1% EOC Science, both above district and state. Mitchell serves PK–2 and has no test-score rows here, so its achievement cannot be evaluated from this data.

A community-wide strength is chronic absenteeism: all four schools sit below the district (27.0%) and state (25.5%) rates, from 22.2% at King to 23.7% at Garrett. Per-student spending ranges from $16,269 at King — which also holds the highest rank percentile — to $18,730 at Mitchell. Two items to watch: Boulder City High's ACT Math slipped from 35.1% to 30.6%, and Garrett's science fell from 66.6% to 49.1%, though both remain above district and state. Some 9th and 10th grade science results are suppressed by the state, meaning they are unknown rather than a weakness.
