Summary:
ZIP code 89183 in Las Vegas has five schools serving 3,645 students, and all five are elementary schools — four are Clark County PK–5 campuses and one is a State Sponsored Charter Schools K–8 campus, meaning there is no traditional middle or high school in the zip and families with older students must look outside the area unless they choose the K–8 option.
The academic spread within this single zip code is dramatic. Pinecrest Academy of Nevada St Rose is the clear standout: ranked 12th of 376 Nevada elementary/middle schools (97th percentile, 5 stars), a position it has held for three straight years, with math, reading and science proficiency roughly double the state average. Hummel John R Elementary School sits at the opposite end — 305th of 376 (19th percentile, 1 star), declining three years running, and the only school in the zip below the district in both math and reading. In between, Bass John C Elementary School is the steadiest district school with three consecutive 4-star years, while Barber Shirley A Elementary School and Schorr Steve Elementary School are the improvers, each gaining 14 percentile points over three years and reaching 4 stars.
Chronic absenteeism closely tracks these results: Pinecrest has the lowest rate at 10.1%, Hummel the highest at 34.6% — roughly one in three students. Notably, Pinecrest spends the least per student ($8,243) and runs the largest classes on paper (24.8 students per teacher) while posting the best outcomes, so spending and class size do not explain the gaps here. Science is the weakest subject at every school, and reading outranks math everywhere except at Hummel. Pinecrest's scores slipped modestly in 2025-26, including a 6.7-point science decline, but it remains a top-3% school. Note that Hummel's science proficiency is suppressed by the state to protect student privacy and is treated as unknown, not as a zero.
