Best Elementary Schools in Zip Code 89005

ZIP code 89005 covers Boulder City, Nevada, where two elementary schools in the Clark County district together serve 720 students across the full PK–5 elementary range: Mitchell Andrew Elementary School for grades PK–2 and King Martha P Elementary School for grades 3–5. The two grade spans are complementary and enrollment is nearly balanced — 356 students at Mitchell Andrew and 364 at King Martha P — so families in this area generally move from one school into the other as their children progress.

King Martha P Elementary School is the clear academic standout. Its 2025–2026 all-grade proficiency is 56.7% in mathematics, 65.3% in reading, and 40.4% in science, roughly 20 points above the state in math and reading and about 15 points above in science. It has earned 4 stars and ranked in the top 20% of Nevada schools for three straight years, with its best showing at 49th of 379 (87th percentile) in 2024–2025. Standouts include 4th grade math and reading at 69.5% and 5th grade science at 40.4%, more than double the district and state. The relative weak spot is 5th grade math at 38.0% — still above district and state, but well below the school's 3rd and 4th grade math results. Scores dipped slightly year over year in all three subjects while remaining well above benchmarks.

Mitchell Andrew Elementary School has no test scores or state rank history here, which is expected for a PK–2 school rather than a sign of weakness, so the two schools cannot be compared on academic proficiency. Where data exists, it looks favorable: chronic absenteeism is 23.0%, below the district's 27.0% and the state's 25.5%, and King Martha P is slightly lower at 22.2%. Both schools report 100% free/reduced lunch and the same 14.2 student–teacher ratio, and Mitchell Andrew spends $18,730 per student versus $16,269 at King Martha P — about 15% more, possibly reflecting early-childhood staffing and program costs. Overall, King Martha P is the standout for measurable academics, while Mitchell Andrew stands out for strong early-grade conditions and lower-than-average absenteeism.
