Summary:

ZIP code 89074 in Henderson serves 5,247 students across nine public schools spanning pre-kindergarten through grade 12: six elementary schools (Somerset Academy Stephanie, Kesterson Lorna J Elementary School, Bartlett Selma F Elementary School, Roberts Aggie Elementary School, Cox David M Elementary School and Gibson James Elementary School), two middle schools (Greenspun Barbara & Hank Junior High School and Coral Academy Windmill) and one high school (Nevada State High School Henderson). Six are Clark County district schools and three are State Sponsored Charter Schools — a distinction that matters, since the charter district ranks 2nd of 12 in Nevada while Clark County ranks 5th of 12.

The academic standout is Coral Academy Windmill, a charter middle school ranked 4th, 2nd and 3rd in Nevada over the past three years, posting the ZIP's highest proficiency in every subject (math 66.8, reading 78.2, science 47.5) and by far its lowest chronic absenteeism at 6.7%. Somerset Academy Stephanie is the strongest elementary-designated option at the 82nd percentile, while Cox David M Elementary (81st percentile) and Gibson James Elementary (77th) lead the traditional district elementaries. Nevada State High School Henderson posts notably strong ACT English results, 74.4 against the state's 50.8.

At the other end, Roberts Aggie Elementary has earned 1 star in each of the last three years, recording the ZIP's lowest math (26.8) and reading (39.3) and the only chronic absenteeism rate above the state (26.8%) — despite the highest per-pupil spending ($17,476). Kesterson Lorna J Elementary is solid in math and reading but shows science proficiency of just 15.8%. Greenspun Barbara & Hank Junior High, the ZIP's largest school at 1,312 students, sits near state norms in math and reading but is strong in science at 39.4. Across the eight K–8 schools, average proficiency exceeds the state in every subject, and eight of nine schools are at or below the state's 25.5% chronic absenteeism rate.
