Summary:
ZIP 89139 in southwest Las Vegas contains five schools — four elementary schools and one middle school, with no high school in the area — serving a combined 4,965 students, with four campuses in Clark County and one in State Sponsored Charter Schools.
Doral Academy West Pebble is the clear academic standout: a 5-star school ranked 33 of 376 elementary schools statewide (91st percentile), with All Grades proficiency of 64.0% in Math, 68.6% in Reading, and 43.7% in Science, plus the lowest chronic absenteeism in the group at 9.2%. It achieves this with the lowest per-student spending ($8,108) and highest student-teacher ratio (27.5), and reports a free/reduced lunch rate of 24.55% versus 100% at the Clark County schools, so its student population differs. Among Clark County campuses, Mathis Dr. Beverly S Elementary is strongest — 4 stars, 79th percentile, 57.7% Math and 59.4% Reading, with low absenteeism (17.9%) and the smallest classes (15.6). Canarelli Lawrence & Heidi Middle School, the only middle school and largest campus at 1,540 students, is strong in Science (39.6%) but near state level in Reading. Alamo Tony Elementary posts solid Math (50.1%) and Reading (55.6%) but a Science outlier at 14.1%, well below district and state. Fine Mark L Elementary has the lowest rank (182 of 376), the highest absenteeism (28.6%), and Math that falls from 58.5% in 3rd grade to 20.9% in 5th; its Science results were suppressed by the state and remain unknown.
Overall, Science performance is uneven across the ZIP, absenteeism broadly tracks results, and higher spending does not guarantee higher outcomes. Families with high-school-age students must look outside the area.
