Summary:
ZIP code 89104 contains nine schools in the Clark County district — five elementary (PK–5), two middle (6–8), and two high (9–12) — enrolling 5,105 students. Every school reports 100% free/reduced lunch, a high-poverty profile, yet state ranks range from the 6th to the 54th percentile.
Fremont John C Professional Dev Middle School is the strongest academic performer: reading 48.5% and science 30.6%, both above district and state, absenteeism at 14.5%, and a rank climb from the 30th to the 54th percentile in three years. Crestwood Elementary School is the elementary standout — the only elementary above district and state in all-grade math (41.1%), with absenteeism at 14.6% and a rise from the 29th to the 48th percentile. Knudson K O Academy of the Arts has the highest science score (36.8%) and lowest absenteeism (14.3%), but math of 18.6% falls far below district and state. Among high schools, Global Community High School graduates 94.3% of students, while Central Technical Training Academy spends the most per student ($24,123) with the smallest classes (ratio 8.3) yet posts ACT English of 35.0%, below district and state.
Chronic absenteeism loosely tracks performance: Knudson, Fremont, and Crestwood sit near 14%, while Park John S Elementary School, Long Walter V Elementary School, and Wengert Cyril Elementary School range from 29.5% to 35.3% and also rank lowest in proficiency. Spending and class size do not reliably predict results; the lowest- and highest-spending schools each show mixed strengths. Several results are suppressed by the state — all elementary science, plus Global's ACT and EOC science scores — and should be read as unknown rather than poor. Strong options exist here, but experiences vary sharply from school to school.
