Summary:
Elementary schools in ZIP code 89128 include four campuses — one K–8 charter school and three Clark County PK–5 schools — serving roughly 2,508 students in this northwest Las Vegas area. Doral Academy Fire Mesa is the largest, with 993 students, about 40% of the area's elementary enrollment, while Katz Edythe & Lloyd Elementary School (590), Bryan Richard H Elementary School (465) and McMillan James B Elementary School (460) make up the rest. Doral is part of State Sponsored Charter Schools; the other three belong to Clark County.
Performance varies widely across the group. Doral Academy Fire Mesa is the standout, earning 4 stars and ranking 75th of 376 schools statewide, with 56% proficient in math, 65% in reading and 39.6% in science — all well above district and state averages — and the area's lowest chronic absenteeism at 14.2%. Notably, it achieves this with the lowest per-student spending ($8,213) and the largest classes (24:1). Among the Clark County schools, Bryan Richard H is the strongest: 44.8% math and 52.7% reading, both above the district and state averages, with 24.0% chronic absenteeism and 3 stars.
Katz Edythe & Lloyd and McMillan James B raise the most concern. Katz has the lowest proficiency in the area (19.8% math, 31% reading) and fell from the 42nd to the 10th percentile over three years, alongside 31.8% chronic absenteeism. McMillan posts 31.3% math and 40% reading with the area's highest absenteeism at 36.1%, despite the highest spending ($17,592). Science is a weak spot for Bryan Richard H at 16.6%, and Katz and McMillan have suppressed science scores, so their science performance is unknown. Weighted together, the three Clark County schools average about 31% in math and 40.4% in reading, below district and state figures, with chronic absenteeism above the state's 25.5%.
