Summary:
ZIP code 89179 is served by a single public school in this data set: Jones Blackhurst Jan L Elementary School, an elementary campus serving grades PK–5 with 853 students in the Clark County school district. No middle, high, or alternative schools are listed for this ZIP code, so families here have one public elementary option shown, and students likely transition to schools outside the area after grade 5.
That single school stands out on its own results. It holds a 4-star rating in each of the last three years and has climbed from 54th to 43rd out of 376 ranked schools, moving from the 86th to the 89th percentile. In 2025–2026, 63.7% of students were proficient in math versus 33.8% in the district and 36.2% statewide, and 67.0% were proficient in reading versus 43.3% district and 45.2% state. Science proficiency was 36.1%, compared with 23.5% district and 25.5% state, and for 5th-grade science specifically it was 36.1% against 15.8% district and 17.4% state. Math improved from 57.8% to 63.7% year over year, while reading dipped slightly from 69.1% to 67.0%. Reading proficiency rises by grade (61.0% in 3rd, 68.8% in 4th, 70.9% in 5th), while math falls (72.7%, 68.8%, 49.6%); 5th-grade math is the school's lowest math grade but still above district and state averages.
Attendance is another strength: chronic absenteeism is 15.1%, well below the district's 27.0% and the state's 25.5%. The school reports 100% free/reduced lunch eligibility for 2024–2025, a high-need context, yet performance remains far above district and state benchmarks. Reported per-student spending is $12,916 and the student-teacher ratio is 17.4; both are given here without district or state benchmarks, so treat them as context rather than comparison. The 100% lunch figure may also reflect school-wide eligibility rather than each individual student's circumstances, and metric years differ, so read year-over-year changes with the listed school years in mind.
