Summary:

ZIP code 89178 covers a southwest Las Vegas community served by six schools enrolling 5,133 students: five elementary schools and one middle school, with no high school inside the ZIP, so local families must look elsewhere for grades 9–12. Five of the six are part of Clark County, while Doral Academy Cactus is a K–8 charter in State Sponsored Charter Schools. The largest school is Gunderson Barry and June Middle School (1,517 students, about 30% of the ZIP), and the smallest is Reedom Carolyn S Elementary School (499).

Doral Academy Cactus is the clear academic leader: five stars, 35th of 376 elementary schools statewide, the best proficiency in the ZIP in every subject (Math 67.4%, Reading 74.0%, Science 45.6%), and the lowest chronic absenteeism here at 11.0% — all while spending the least per student ($8,990) and running the largest classes (23.2 students per teacher). Gunderson Barry and June Middle School is the strongest traditional school, in the top quarter of Nevada middle schools and improving each year (78th to 82nd to 84th percentile). Thompson Tyrone Elementary School also stands out at the 85th percentile, with the ZIP's second-best math (60.3%) and reading (69.2%).

At the other end, Wright William V Elementary School is the only school below the state average in math (34.8%) and reading (41.4%), and it has slid from the 63rd to the 41st percentile and from three stars to two; its science result is suppressed by the state, so that performance is unknown rather than weak. Reedom Carolyn S Elementary School posts the lowest science proficiency in the data set (13.5%). Three schools are improving and three are declining, so the gap inside this ZIP is widening. Every school beats the state on chronic absenteeism (25.5%), and the highest-spending schools are the lowest-performing, so money and class size do not explain results here. Science is the ZIP's weakest subject (+7.2 points over the state) versus +16.0 in math, and at every PK–5 school with a trend, third grade outperforms fifth grade.
