Summary:
ZIP 89135 in Las Vegas contains three public schools in the Clark County school district — two PK–5 elementaries, Goolsby Judy & John L Elementary School and Ober D'Vorre & Hal Elementary School, plus one 9–12 high school, West Career & Technical Academy High School, together enrolling 2,725 students with no middle school inside the ZIP.
Two of the three are among Nevada's strongest schools and one sits near the state midpoint. West Career & Technical Academy High School ranks 2nd of 105 high schools (98th percentile, 5 stars), with 11th-grade ACT English at 92% and ACT math at 62.8% versus roughly 51% and 22% district and state; its EOC science is 62.9% against about 26.5% statewide. Goolsby Judy & John L Elementary School ranks 13th of 376 (97th percentile, 5 stars) and has held that range for three years. Ober D'Vorre & Hal Elementary School ranks 189th of 376 (50th percentile, 3 stars) but climbed 55 places and 14 percentile points from the prior year.
The clearest divide is attendance: chronic absenteeism is 9.6% at West, 15.7% at Goolsby, and 34.7% at Ober — above both district (27.0%) and state (25.5%). Class size and spending run opposite to outcomes: West has 23.5 students per teacher at $12,086, while Ober has the smallest classes (14.4) and the largest per-pupil budget ($14,328) yet performs at the state middle. Science is a weak spot everywhere except West; Ober's 2025-26 science results are suppressed by the state, meaning unknown. Inside Goolsby, reading rises by grade to 86.3% in 5th while math slips; inside Ober, 3rd-grade reading (31.7%) trails 5th-grade reading (64.7%) by 33 points. West's graduation figure, 93.5%, comes from a different reporting year than the district and state numbers, so compare it cautiously.
