Summary:
Zip code 89147 contains 10 schools — seven elementary, one middle, and two high schools — with a total reported enrollment of about 9,072 students. Eight are part of Clark County schools, while Doral Academy Saddle and Beacon Academy of Nevada belong to State Sponsored Charter Schools. School sizes range from 430 students at Kim Frank Elementary School to 2,641 at Spring Valley High School, and outcomes vary widely across the group.
Doral Academy Saddle is the academic standout: it ranks in the 89th percentile with 4 stars, posts the highest math (62.7%), reading (70.8%), and science (45.4%) proficiency in the area, and has the lowest chronic absenteeism at 11.1% — all while spending the least per student at $8,077. Its reported free/reduced lunch rate of 28.28% is far below the 100% reported at Clark County schools here, so comparisons are not purely apples-to-apples. Among high schools, Spring Valley High School graduates 92.3% of students, above district and state rates, with ACT English at 68.0% and EOC science at 35.5%. Hayes Keith C & Karen W Elementary School is the strongest Clark elementary, ranking in the 73rd percentile with 5th-grade science at 43.4%, more than double the state's 17.4%.
Beacon Academy of Nevada is the clearest negative outlier, with a 25.9% graduation rate, 52.0% chronic absenteeism, ACT English under 5%, and a student-teacher ratio of 66.2; many of its test values are state-suppressed, so its full picture is unknown. Lawrence Clifford J Junior High School lags in math at 20.9%, and Bendorf Patricia A Elementary School has the highest elementary absenteeism at 30.4%. Notably, per-pupil spending does not track outcomes here — the highest-spending schools do not outperform the lowest-spending ones.
