Summary:
ZIP code 89115 is home to 16 schools — 11 elementary, 2 middle, and 3 high schools — serving 8,883 students in a high-poverty area where 12 of the 16 schools report 100% free/reduced lunch. The largest are Monaco Mario C & JoAnne Middle School (925 students), Coral Academy Nellis AFB (902), and Von Tobel Educational Middle School (866). Most schools belong to the Clark County district, while Coral Academy Nellis AFB and Nevada State High School Sunrise are part of State Sponsored Charter Schools.
Two schools stand out. Miller Sandy Searles Elementary School ranks at the 69th percentile (3 stars) with 48.0% math and 58.9% reading proficiency, above both district and state averages, and chronic absenteeism of only 8.6% — all despite 100% free/reduced lunch. Coral Academy Nellis AFB, a PK–8 charter, ranks at the 62nd percentile with 42.1% math and 54.4% reading. Nevada State High School Sunrise posts 66.6% ACT English proficiency, above the state average of 50.8%; its ACT Math score is suppressed by the state.
Most other schools struggle. Manch J E Elementary School, Lynch Ann Elementary School, and Lowman Mary & Zel Elementary School rank near the bottom of the state, with chronic absenteeism of 45.6%, 38.9%, and 44.8%. Both middle schools — Monaco and Von Tobel — fall in the bottom 9th percentile. Across the ZIP, average proficiency is 22.9% in math and 31.2% in reading, roughly 13–14 points below state averages. Higher spending does not guarantee results: Cortez spends $20,112 per student yet ranks in the 9th percentile. Spring Mountain and Summit View have suppressed test scores, so their performance cannot be evaluated.
