Summary:
The 89027 zip code area in Nevada is home to 3 schools that serve students from elementary through high school, all part of the Clark County School District. While the schools face challenges common to high-poverty areas, Virgin Valley Elementary School stands out as a high-performing institution, outpacing district and state averages in mathematics and reading proficiency. In contrast, the middle and high schools in the area have more mixed results, with some strengths and areas for improvement.
Virgin Valley High School ranks 46 out of 97 Nevada high schools and maintains a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 81.6%. However, the school's performance in science and mathematics proficiency lags behind district and state averages. Hughes Charles Arthur Middle School also has mixed results, with lower mathematics proficiency but better performance in reading and science compared to the district and state.
Across all three schools, the student population faces significant economic challenges, with a 100% free and reduced lunch rate. This high-poverty environment is likely a contributing factor to the schools' chronic absenteeism rates, which range from 26.6% to 26.6%. Despite these challenges, the data suggests that there are opportunities to further support the middle and high schools in the area, particularly in the areas of mathematics and science proficiency, to help improve overall student outcomes.
