Best Public Schools in Zip Code 89027

Summary:

The 89027 zip code area in Nevada is home to 3 schools - 1 elementary, 1 middle, and 1 high school - all part of the Clark County School District. Among these schools, Virgin Valley Elementary School stands out as a high-performing institution, consistently ranking in the top half of Nevada elementary schools and earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger in the 2023-2024 school year.

Virgin Valley Elementary School's academic performance is particularly impressive, with proficiency rates in mathematics (46.5%) and reading (51.3%) that significantly exceed the Clark County and Nevada averages. In contrast, the test scores at Virgin Valley High School are more mixed, with below-average proficiency in science and mathematics, but above-average performance in English. Hughes Charles Arthur Middle School has test scores that are generally in line with or slightly above the district and state averages in mathematics, reading, and science.

Despite the varying academic performance, all 3 schools in the 89027 zip code area face significant economic challenges, with extremely high rates of free/reduced lunch recipients (ranging from 99.87% to 100%). This suggests that these schools serve communities with significant economic disadvantages, which may contribute to the academic performance challenges observed at some of the schools. However, the proximity of the 3 schools and their shared district presents opportunities for collaboration and resource sharing to address common challenges and support student success across the region.
