Summary:
The 89014 zip code in Henderson, Nevada is home to 7 schools, including 5 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school, all part of the Clark County School District. While the schools serve diverse student populations, many have high rates of economic disadvantage, with most reporting free or reduced-price lunch rates over 99%.
Among the standout schools in the area are White Thurman Academy of the Arts Middle School, which is ranked 41st out of 153 Nevada middle schools and has a 4-star rating, as well as Mack Nate Elementary School and McDoniel Estes M Elementary School, both of which are ranked in the top 15% of Nevada elementary schools and have 4-star ratings. These high-performing schools demonstrate that strong academic achievement is possible even in the face of economic challenges.
In contrast, the Silver Sands Montessori charter school, despite having a lower student-teacher ratio and lower spending per student, has lower test scores compared to the top-performing public schools in the area. This suggests that factors beyond just funding and staffing, such as school leadership, curriculum, and teaching quality, play a significant role in student outcomes.
