Summary:
ZIP code 89128 in Las Vegas contains five schools serving about 4,991 students, spanning preschool through 12th grade: one large high school, three Clark County elementary schools, and a K–8 charter school that means grades 6–8 are available here even though the area has no standalone middle school. The high school alone accounts for roughly half of all students in the ZIP.
Parents looking for the strongest outcomes should start with Doral Academy Fire Mesa, the K–8 charter ranked 75th of 376 schools (80th percentile, 4 stars), with proficiency of 56% in math and 65% in reading — roughly 20 points above the state — and the ZIP's lowest chronic absenteeism at 14.2%. Bryan Richard H Elementary is the strongest Clark County neighborhood school, at the 59th percentile (3 stars), beating district and state averages in math (44.8%) and reading (52.7%). At the other end, Katz Edythe & Lloyd Elementary has fallen to the 10th percentile (1 star) with math proficiency of 19.8%, while McMillan James B Elementary sits at the 36th percentile despite spending the most per student in the ZIP.
Cimarron-Memorial High School is the most puzzling: it graduates 92.0% of students, above district and state rates, yet its test results are among the lowest — ACT math proficiency of 6.5% against 22.6% statewide — and its rank has fallen to 94th of 105 with 42.5% chronic absenteeism. Two patterns stand out ZIP-wide. First, spending and class size do not track results: the lowest-spending school posts the highest achievement, while the highest-spending one ranks below the ZIP's top performers. Second, attendance tracks achievement closely — the two lowest-absenteeism schools are also the two highest-ranked, while the three above the district absenteeism average rank lowest.
