Summary:
The 89503 zip code in Nevada has only one middle school, Archie Clayton Pre-A.P. Academy, a public magnet school serving grades 6-8 with 695 students. While the school is ranked 4 out of 12 in the Washoe County school district and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger, its statewide ranking has fluctuated between 74th and 85th out of 151-153 Nevada middle schools over the past 3 school years, with a 2-3 star rating.
Archie Clayton Pre-A.P. Academy faces some challenges, including a concerning 26.6% chronic absenteeism rate and below-average math proficiency rates ranging from 25.8% to 29.2% across all grade levels, compared to Washoe County and Nevada averages. However, the school's reading proficiency rates are closer to the county and state averages, ranging from 41.2% to 43.4% proficient, and its 8th-grade science proficiency of 40.4% exceeds the county and state averages.
With 100% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, Archie Clayton serves a high-need student population. The school's per-student spending of $10,115 is on par with the district average, but its student-teacher ratio of 23.9 is slightly higher than the typical recommended range. While the school has some areas of strength, such as its STEM education, addressing the low math proficiency and high chronic absenteeism should be priorities for the school and district to improve student outcomes.
