Summary:
The 89169 zip code area in Clark County, Nevada is home to 5 schools, including 3 elementary schools, 1 high school, and 1 alternative school, all part of the Clark County School District. While the district is ranked 5th out of 12 in Nevada and rated 4 stars by SchoolDigger, the schools in this area face significant challenges, with consistently low academic performance and high poverty levels.
Among the standout schools, Lake Robert E Elementary School has the highest performance on standardized tests, with 24.5% of students proficient or better in math and 29.7% in reading. The school's 3rd and 5th-grade reading proficiency rates are particularly strong, at 24.3% and 37.2%, respectively. In contrast, the other elementary schools in the area generally perform below the district and state averages on SBAC assessments. The alternative school, Stewart Helen J, stands out with its significantly lower student-teacher ratio of 4.9 and much higher per-student spending of $54,240, suggesting a more personalized approach to education.
Across the schools, there are several concerning trends, including high chronic absenteeism rates ranging from 26.6% to 26.6%, and low graduation rates, with Valley High School having a 4-year graduation rate of only 81.6%. Additionally, all schools in the area have 100% of their students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating high poverty levels that may be contributing to the low academic performance. These findings suggest a need for targeted interventions and support to improve educational outcomes for the students in this community.
