Summary:
The 89120 zip code area of Las Vegas, Nevada is home to 8 schools, including 4 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 3 high schools. The data reveals stark differences in academic performance among these schools, with some standouts like Southeast Career Technical Academy High School and the Explore Knowledge Academy J-Senior High School significantly outperforming the county and state averages, while others struggle to meet those benchmarks.
The two magnet high schools, Del Sol Academy of Performing Arts and Southeast Career Technical Academy, appear to be the top performers in the area, with the latter ranking 27th out of 97 Nevada high schools and earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. Meanwhile, the Cannon Helen C Junior High School struggles to meet state and county averages in academic proficiency.
The data also reveals that while some schools, like Explore Knowledge Academy Elementary School, excel despite relatively low per-student spending, others with higher funding, such as Tomiyasu Bill Y Elementary School, do not necessarily perform better. This suggests that factors beyond just funding, such as school leadership and community engagement, may play a significant role in student outcomes across the Clark County school district.
