Summary:

ZIP code 89129 in Las Vegas contains 8 public schools in the Clark County district — six elementary schools serving PK–5 and two middle schools serving grades 6–8, with no high schools — enrolling 5,512 students in total. Every school reports 100% free/reduced lunch, and all 8 carry the same district line (rank 5 of 12, 58th percentile, 4 stars), so that rating does not separate them from one another.

Tarr Sheila Academy of Int'l Studies Elementary School is the clear standout: the highest math (61.8%) and reading (69.5%) proficiency in the ZIP, chronic absenteeism of just 6.9%, 4 stars in all three recent years, and a rank percentile of 82 — all despite below-average spending of $13,877. Deskin Ruthe Elementary School is the most improved, climbing from the 36th to the 65th percentile, with math at 47.0% and reading at 55.7%. Conners Eileen Elementary School and Eisenberg Dorothy Elementary School are solidly above district and state in math and reading; Conners posts 32.4% science, more than double the 5th-grade district and state figures. Garehime Edith Elementary School sits below district in math and reading and has declined in rank percentile.

Among middle schools, Leavitt Justice Myron E Middle School outperforms Molasky Irwin & Susan Junior High School in every subject, with science at 37.4%, but its math (26.7%) is below district and state and its 8th-grade math is weaker still. Molasky is the lowest performer here — 1 star in all three years, math 14.4%, reading 28.8%, and 8th-grade math of only 10.2%. Kahre Marc Elementary School has the highest spending ($18,402) and the highest absenteeism (30.4%) but below-district math and reading, showing that spending and absenteeism each explain only part of the picture. Science is suppressed for Garehime, Eisenberg, and Kahre, so those results are unknown rather than weak.
