Gibson Robert O Middle School Leadership Academy

Summary:

Gibson Robert O Middle School Leadership Academy is a public magnet middle school in Las Vegas, Nevada, serving grades 6-8 with an enrollment of 1,195 students. The school is part of the Clark County School District, which is the 7th ranked district out of 13 in Nevada and is rated 3 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

Despite the school's relatively high spending per student ($10,064 in 2021-2022), its academic performance, as measured by SBAC proficiency rates, is significantly below the Clark County and Nevada averages across all subjects and grade levels. The school consistently ranks in the bottom quarter of Nevada middle schools, ranking 112th out of 153 schools in the 2023-2024 school year. Its performance on SBAC assessments is particularly low for its African American, Hispanic, and English Language Learner student subgroups, ranking in the bottom half or bottom third of Nevada middle schools for these subgroups.

Interestingly, the nearby schools, such as Cashman James Middle School, Johnson Walter Junior High School Academy of Int'l Studies, and Odyssey Charter Schools 6-8 Middle School, generally perform better academically than Gibson Robert O Middle School, with higher SBAC proficiency rates and higher statewide rankings. The school's statewide ranking has also steadily declined over the past several years, from 75th out of 114 Nevada middle schools in 2017-2018 to 112th out of 153 in 2023-2024, suggesting that its academic performance is not improving and may be falling further behind its peers.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

Open Quote Would give zero stars if possible. The magnet "leadership" program is pointless. School is very disorganized. Administration nitpicks students' "standard student attire" instead of preparing students for high school. Close Quote

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
