Summary:
Zip code 89149, in northwest Las Vegas, contains 11 schools serving about 10,064 students: 7 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 3 high schools. Enrollment skews toward the high schools, which hold nearly half of all students in the zip. Almost every school belongs to Clark County, the exception being Imagine School Mountain View, a charter campus in State Sponsored Charter Schools. Note that all schools report 100% free/reduced lunch, so that figure does not distinguish them, and a dash in test scores means the state suppressed the value.
The academic standout is Northwest Career-Technical Academy High School, ranked 10 of 105 high schools (90th percentile, 5 stars) with 47.8% ACT math and 84.3% ACT English proficiency and just 10.8% chronic absenteeism. Among elementaries, Darnell Marshall C Elementary School has improved sharply to 46 of 376 (88th percentile, 4 stars), posting 59.7% math, 63.7% reading, and an exceptional 42% science. Divich Kenneth Elementary School (83rd percentile) and Bozarth Henry & Evelyn Elementary School (78th percentile) are consistent high performers, with Thompson Sandra L Elementary School and Allen Dean LaMar Elementary School more modest but still solid.
Several schools need a closer look. Centennial High School is large (2,961 students) with a strong 91.9% graduation rate, but its ACT English and science scores trail district and state, and absenteeism is 32.1%. Imagine School Mountain View ranks in the bottom third of elementaries despite its highly rated charter district, with below-average math and reading, 30.3% absenteeism, and a 49.6 student-teacher ratio. Peterson Academic Center J-Senior High School is tiny (113 students) with the zip's highest spending ($29,054) and absenteeism (67.9%), though its test scores are suppressed. Escobedo Edmundo Eddie Senior Middle School is the only middle school, ranking 90 of 148 (39th percentile).
