Summary:
ZIP code 89122 in the Las Vegas area is home to seven schools serving roughly 3,433 students from pre-kindergarten through grade 12, all within the Clark County district, which is rated 4 stars. The mix includes four elementary schools, one middle school, and two very small high schools. Enrollment is concentrated at the elementary level (about 66.8%) and in a single middle school, Cortney Francis H Junior High School, which with 1,014 students is the largest school in the area.
Academically, every school with reported test data scores below both the district and state averages in math and reading. Bailey Sister Robert Joseph Elementary School comes closest, with math at 33.5% and reading at 39.1%, and holds the strongest current rank in the ZIP (37th percentile, 2 stars), improving steadily over three years. Cunningham Cynthia Elementary School shows the biggest year-over-year gains — math up from 21.0% to 28.7% and reading from 26.9% to 38.9% — lifting it from 1 star to 2 stars. At the other end, Smith Hal Elementary School ranks 376 of 376 (0 stars), while Cortney Francis H Junior High School ranks 138 of 148, with math at 11.2% and reading at 22.7%.
Attendance is a concern across the area: every school exceeds the state chronic absenteeism rate of 25.5%, and six of seven exceed the district's 27.0%, ranging from 25.9% at Whitney Elementary School to 62.8% at Cowan Academic Center J-Senior High School. More resources do not automatically translate into higher scores here — Whitney has the smallest elementary class sizes and highest elementary spending yet still scores below district and state. The two Cowan high schools, Cowan Sunset Southeast High School and Cowan Academic Center, are tiny, with suppressed test data and unusually high per-student spending, so their results should be read cautiously.
