Summary:

Zip code 89081 has six schools — four elementary, one middle, and one alternative K-12 — serving 6,454 students, and no traditional high school. Two are charters in State Sponsored Charter Schools (Somerset Academy Losee and Freedom Classical Academy K-8), enrolling 3,502 students, or 54.3% of the total; the other four are in Clark County. At district level, State Sponsored Charter Schools is ranked 2 of 12 with 5 stars and Clark County 5 of 12 with 4 stars — district ratings, not individual school ratings.

Freedom Classical Academy K-8 posts the lowest chronic absenteeism at 13.4% and the strongest all-grades reading (50.3%) and science (28.0%), with math at 36.4% just above the state's 36.2%; its trade-offs are the highest student-teacher ratio (37.0) and lowest spending ($6,888). Somerset Academy Losee, the largest school at 2,428 students, is the only one with high-school data, and its ACT results are mixed. Johnston Carroll M STEM Academy of Env Studies shows the clearest improvement, rising from the 12th to the 42nd percentile, with math up from 18.8% to 27.4%. Dickens D L Dusty Elementary School spends the most ($15,019) with the lowest student-teacher ratio, yet science is 11.6%. Scott Jesse D Elementary School (4th percentile, 0 stars, 31.5% absenteeism) and Tartan John Elementary School (14th percentile, 1 star) have the lowest measured performance.

Absenteeism splits the group: Freedom, Johnston (19.2%) and Somerset (19.5%) are below the state's 25.5%, while Dickens, Scott and Tartan are above it. Reading tends to be stronger than math, and science is uneven; Scott and Tartan science is suppressed (—), which is unknown, not zero. Charter schools show lower absenteeism and stronger reading and science on simple averages, but Freedom reports 52.42% free/reduced lunch while all four Clark schools report 100%, so comparisons are cautious. Spending and class size don't track simply with outcomes, and Johnston plus Somerset's ACT English (up from 29.0% to 44.1%) show the clearest gains.
