Summary:
ZIP code 89144 in Las Vegas is home to four Clark County public schools — two elementary schools, one middle school, and one high school serving grades K–12 — with about 6,094 students combined. Palo Verde High School is the largest by far at 2,938 students, followed by Rogich Sig Middle School (1,636), Bonner John W Elementary School (825), and Staton Ethel W Elementary School (695).
By the numbers, this is a strong area. Bonner is the top-ranked school here — 18th of 376 elementary schools statewide (95th percentile) with 5 stars for three years running, reading proficiency of 73.8%, math of 72.9%, and chronic absenteeism of just 9.8%. Rogich is the middle-school standout at 10th of 148 (93rd percentile), also 5 stars for three straight years, with science proficiency of 61.5%. Staton remains above average at 51st of 376 (86th percentile) with 4 stars, though it slipped from 5 stars in 2023–2024 and a rank of 35th. Palo Verde ranks 21st of 105 high schools (80th percentile) with 4 stars and a 93.4% graduation rate.
Two patterns are worth watching. Chronic absenteeism climbs with grade level — 9.8% at Bonner, 14.9% at Staton, 17.1% at Rogich, and 30.8% at Palo Verde — and Palo Verde is the only school here above the district's 27.0% and the state's 25.5%. Palo Verde also shows a wide gap between ACT English (73.7%) and ACT Math (40.5%). Elementary science is the other soft spot: 36.1% at Bonner and 28.0% at Staton, compared with 61.5% at Rogich. Notably, spending and class size do not track with results — Staton spends the most per student ($12,674) with the smallest classes (16.5), while Rogich spends the least ($9,225) yet earns 5 stars.
