Summary:
The 89106 zip code of Las Vegas, Nevada is home to 14 schools, including 9 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 4 high schools, serving a predominantly minority and economically disadvantaged student population. While some schools, like Advanced Technologies Academy High School, excel academically, others, such as Detwiler Ollie Elementary and Booker Kermit R Senior Elementary, struggle to meet proficiency standards, highlighting the stark contrasts in academic performance within the area.
The data reveals that Advanced Technologies Academy High School stands out as a top-performing school, ranking 1st out of 96 Nevada high schools and significantly outperforming the Clark County School District and State-Sponsored Charter Schools in test scores, particularly in science, math, and English. In contrast, Democracy Prep at Agassi Elementary, despite serving a high-poverty student population, outperforms the state-sponsored charter school district in math and reading test scores, highlighting the potential for improvement in other schools in the area.
The data also reveals the challenges faced by high-poverty schools in the 89106 zip code, with several schools having 100% of their students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. While these schools tend to struggle with lower test scores and rankings, the presence of successful schools, such as Advanced Technologies Academy High School, suggests that it is possible for schools in this area to achieve strong academic outcomes, even with a predominantly minority and economically disadvantaged student population.
