Middle Schools in Clark County

The Clark County school district in Nevada is home to 60 middle schools serving students in grades 6-8. This diverse area features a wide range of school sizes, academic performance, and student demographics. While some schools like Lied STEM Academy Middle School and Rogich Sig Middle School consistently rank among the top in the state, other schools struggle with low proficiency rates.

The standout schools in the district demonstrate exceptional academic results, with students scoring well above county and state averages in math, reading, and science. Lyon Mack Middle School and Garrett Elton M Junior High School are two such examples, ranking 26th and 42nd in the state respectively and earning 4-star ratings from SchoolDigger. In contrast, schools like Bailey Dr William H Middle School, Harney Kathleen & Tim Middle School, and Orr William E Middle School struggle with very low proficiency rates.

The data reveals significant disparities in academic performance across the Clark County middle schools, highlighting the need to address the factors contributing to these gaps and ensure equitable access to quality education. While the relationship between per-student spending and outcomes is not clear, the data suggests that school type and specialization, such as public magnet schools, may play a role in driving student achievement.
