Summary:
ZIP code 89134 contains three schools serving roughly 1,985 students in the PK–8 pipeline: Becker Ernest Middle School (grades 6–8, 1,075 students), Lummis William Elementary School (grades PK–5, 503 students), and Discovery Charter School HillPointe (grades K–8, 407 students) — two elementary schools and one middle school, with no high schools in the area.
Lummis William is the academic anchor. Its all-grade Math proficiency is 62% and Reading 73%, far above the state's 36.2% and 45.2%, and it ranks 62 of 376 (84th percentile, 4 stars). It also has the smallest classes at 14.3 students per teacher and the highest per-student spending at $15,944. Becker Ernest stands out for Science (40.4% all grades) and the lowest chronic absenteeism in the ZIP (16.8%), but its all-grade Math (29%) trails both the Clark County district and the state. Discovery beats the state in Math, Reading, and Science, yet trails its own State Sponsored Charter Schools averages in all three, and has the highest absenteeism (31.6%), the largest classes (29.0 students per teacher), and the lowest spending ($7,451).
Results vary widely by grade within each school. Becker improved in Math and Science year over year but slipped in Reading, while Lummis gained in Reading and Discovery improved in both Math and Reading. Discovery's 6th-grade and 8th-grade Math are state-suppressed, so those grades cannot be evaluated from this data. Lummis's all-grade Science (19.7%) falls below the all-grade state figure, though its 5th-grade Science is above the 5th-grade state average. Becker moved from 2 stars to 3 stars, Discovery slipped from 4 stars to 3 stars, and Lummis held at 4 stars.
