Summary:
The 89135 zip code area in Nevada is home to 3 schools - 2 elementary schools and 1 high school. The standout schools in this area are West Career & Technical Academy High School and Goolsby Judy & John L Elementary School, both of which have consistently ranked among the top schools in Nevada and earned 5-star ratings from SchoolDigger.
West Career & Technical Academy High School is a high-performing school, with test scores significantly exceeding the Clark County and state averages, particularly in English/Language Arts and Mathematics. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, 89.9% of 11th-grade students were proficient or better in ACT English, compared to 46.3% in Clark County and 45.6% in Nevada. Goolsby Judy & John L Elementary School also stands out, with test scores in Mathematics, Reading, and Science that are significantly higher than the county and state averages across all grade levels.
Despite the high performance of these schools, all three schools in the 89135 zip code area have very high free/reduced lunch rates, indicating that the student population comes from economically disadvantaged backgrounds. The differences in student racial makeup among the schools suggest a diverse population in the area, with some schools serving a more racially homogeneous student body and others having a more balanced racial distribution. The lower student-teacher ratio at the elementary schools compared to the high school may also contribute to the stronger academic performance observed at the elementary level.
