While Guinn Kenny C Middle School has a significantly higher percentage of Hispanic students (53.97%) compared to nearby schools, its test scores are generally lower than the surrounding schools, especially in mathematics. In the 2023-2024 school year, only 27.3% of students were proficient or better in SBAC/Mathematics, compared to a range of 13.2% to 45.7% at nearby schools. However, the school's reading and science scores are more competitive, with 42% proficient or better in SBAC/Reading and 42.2% proficient or better in SBAC/Science. The school's statewide ranking has fluctuated over the years, ranging from 32nd out of 114 Nevada middle schools in 2017-2018 to 78th out of 152 in 2022-2023, placing it in the middle to lower range of Nevada middle schools.

Despite these challenges, Guinn Kenny C Middle School has some strengths, including strong performance in certain student subgroups, such as African American students and English Language Learner students. Additionally, the school's spending per student has increased over the years, from $7,431 in 2018-2019 to $9,899 in 2021-2022, which is higher than the national average but lower than some nearby schools. While Guinn Kenny C Middle School faces significant obstacles, the school's diverse student population, competitive reading and science scores, and strong performance in certain subgroups suggest that with continued efforts to improve academic outcomes, particularly in mathematics, the school could better serve its students and community.

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.

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.
