Summary:
ZIP code 89014 contains seven schools serving about 5,987 students — five elementary schools, one middle school, and one high school — with six in the Clark County district and one, Silver Sands Montessori, operating as a state-sponsored charter. Enrollment is heavily concentrated: Green Valley High School alone accounts for 2,436 students and White Thurman Academy of the Arts Middle School adds 1,501, while the four Clark County elementary schools range from 388 to 497 students.
For families seeking the strongest profiles, McDoniel Estes M Elementary School leads elementary math (61.0%) and reading (59.0%), has the lowest chronic absenteeism in the ZIP (10.9%), and the smallest student-teacher ratio (11.7). Mack Nate Elementary School is close behind, with math and reading both at 57.1% and strong 5th grade results. White Thurman posts reading at 63.2% and science at 44.9%, far above state averages, with 17.0% absenteeism. Green Valley graduates 90.1% of students and reaches 68.3% ACT English proficiency — far above district and state — though ACT Math is only 23.5%, a wide English-versus-math gap.
Two schools merit closer attention. Thorpe Jim Elementary School has the lowest rank percentile (36th, 2 stars) and reading proficiency (37.5%) among Clark County schools here, the highest absenteeism among them (32.0%), and the highest per-pupil spending ($19,903); its science score is suppressed by the state, so it is unknown rather than confirmed weak. Silver Sands spends the least ($6,034) and has the highest student-teacher ratio (23.7) and absenteeism (32.7%), yet records a standout 7th grade reading score of 78.2%. Notably, all six Clark County schools share the same district rating even though their school-level results vary widely.
