Summary:
ZIP code 89148 in Las Vegas is home to seven public schools — five elementary schools serving PK–5 and two middle schools serving grades 6–8, with no high schools in the ZIP — all part of the Clark County district and enrolling 5,904 students combined. Middle schools are much larger (about 1,228 students each) than elementaries (about 690 each). Every school reports 100% free/reduced lunch, so that figure does not distinguish one school from another here.
Batterman Kathy L Elementary School is the area's top performer: ranked 57th of 376 elementaries with 4 stars, and #1 in the ZIP in math (57.4%), reading (61.1%), and science (45.9%). Berkley Shelley Elementary School has the strongest reading culture (60.0% overall, 63.1% in 5th grade). Tanaka Wayne N Elementary School has the smallest classes (15.4 students per teacher), the highest spending ($14,329), and the ZIP's best single grade-level math result (4th grade, 65.5%). Among middle schools, Fertitta Victoria Middle School leads Faiss Wilbur & Theresa Middle School in all three subjects and has the lowest absenteeism (15.6%); Faiss is the largest school but posts the ZIP's lowest math (36.9%). Rogers Lucille S Elementary School has the highest absenteeism (28.3%), and Snyder Don & Dee Elementary School has the weakest science (16.2%).
The big picture is encouraging: every school beats the Nevada state average in both math and reading, though science is far more polarized, ranging from 9.3 points below the state at Snyder to 20.4 above at Batterman. Reading is the ZIP's strength but slipped at six of the seven schools. Attendance and spending do not line up neatly with results — Tanaka pairs near-district absenteeism with the #2 math score, and the lower-funded middle school outperforms its better-funded neighbor. Grade-level results swing widely within individual schools, so it is worth asking about the specific grades your child will enter.
