Summary:
The 89130 zip code area of Las Vegas, Nevada is home to 10 schools serving students from elementary through high school, including a mix of public, public charter, and public magnet schools. While the schools demonstrate a range of academic performance, a few standouts emerge, such as Lied STEM Academy Middle School, a public magnet school that consistently ranks among the top middle schools in Nevada, and Founders Academy of Las Vegas, a public charter school with strong student outcomes in math and reading.
The data reveals significant disparities in academic proficiency rates across the schools in this area, with some, like Lied STEM Academy and Founders Academy, outperforming state and district averages, while others, such as Parson Claude & Stella Elementary School, lag behind. This suggests uneven educational opportunities within the 89130 zip code area. Additionally, the charter schools in the data set, including Nevada State High School Northwest, demonstrate strong academic performance, outpacing many of the district-run public schools.
While per-student spending varies widely across the schools, from around $6,000 at some charter schools to over $12,000 at some district elementary schools, the data does not show a clear correlation between funding levels and academic outcomes. This indicates that factors beyond just funding, such as specialized programs and school leadership, may play a significant role in driving student success. Overall, the educational landscape within the 89130 zip code presents a complex picture, with pockets of excellence alongside persistent challenges that require further analysis and targeted interventions to ensure equitable access to high-quality education for all students in the community.
