Summary:
The zip code 89156 in Nevada is home to 8 schools, including 4 elementary schools, 3 middle schools, and 1 high school, all part of the Clark County School District. While the district is ranked 5 out of 12 in the state, the schools in this zip code generally underperform compared to state and district averages, with several schools ranked in the bottom quartile of Nevada schools.
A few schools stand out in this area, including O'Callaghan Mike Middle School i3 Learn Academy, which is ranked 35th out of 153 Nevada middle schools and has strong test scores, and Herr Helen Elementary School, which has above-average test scores. Additionally, Nevada Prep Charter School outperforms the state and district averages in reading. However, the high chronic absenteeism rate of 26.6% across all schools is concerning and likely contributes to the low academic performance.
The schools in this zip code serve a high-poverty population, with 100% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. This, combined with the wide range in student-teacher ratios, from 16.5 to 52.3, may be a factor in the varying academic outcomes. While the data paints a challenging educational landscape, the success of a few schools suggests that with the right resources and strategies, significant improvements can be made in this area.
