Summary:
ZIP code 89106 in Las Vegas is home to 13 schools serving roughly 7,284 students: eight elementary schools, one middle school, and four high schools. Ten belong to Clark County (ranked 5th of 12 districts with 4 stars) and three are State Sponsored Charter Schools (ranked 2nd of 12 with 5 stars) — the Democracy Prep at Agassi campuses. Every one of the 13 schools reports 100% free/reduced lunch for 2024–2025, so this is a uniformly high-poverty area, and poverty rates do not explain the wide differences between these schools.
Advanced Technologies Academy High School is the headline performer — ranked #1 of 105 Nevada high schools with 5 stars, with ACT Math at 69.1% and ACT English at 89.8%, far above the state. Veterans Tribute CTA High School (34 of 105), Hoggard Mabel Elementary School (111 of 376, 4 stars, Math 51.6%, Reading 57.3%) and Toland Helen Anderson International Academy (146 of 376) also beat state averages. Democracy Prep at Agassi High ranks 25 of 105 with strong ACT results, though its chronic absenteeism (34.5%) is high.
Several schools lag well behind. Detwiler Ollie Elementary School ranks 370 of 376 with 0 stars, while Kelly Matt Elementary School and Williams Wendell Elementary School also rank near the bottom with chronic absenteeism above 40%. Democracy Prep at Agassi Elementary ranks 354 of 376. Absenteeism is the clearest pattern: the strongest schools have the lowest rates (Hoggard 8.2%, Toland 8.6%) while the weakest exceed 40%. Spending does not track results — Advanced Technologies Academy spends $14,513 per student, below the ZIP median, while higher-spending Williams remains low-performing.
