Burkholder Lyal Middle School consistently underperforms compared to the Clark County and Nevada averages in both math and reading proficiency across all grade levels. In 2023-2024, only 16.5% of Burkholder Lyal students were proficient in math, compared to 30.1% in Clark County and 32.6% in Nevada. Similarly, the school's reading proficiency of 31.2% lags behind the county (39.3%) and state (41.3%) averages.

Interestingly, the nearby schools, such as Schofield Jack Lund Middle School, Woodbury C W Middle School, and Cortney Francis H Junior High School, also struggle with low academic performance, suggesting that the challenges faced by Burkholder Lyal Middle School are not unique and may be indicative of broader systemic issues within the Clark County School District. In contrast, the two magnet schools in the area, White Thurman Academy of the Arts Middle School and Brown B Mahlon Junior High School, perform significantly better, highlighting the potential impact of specialized programs and targeted resources on student achievement.

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.
