Best Public Schools in Zip Code 89178


Summary:

The 89178 zip code area of Las Vegas, Nevada is home to 6 schools, including 5 elementary schools and 1 middle school. While the schools serve diverse student populations, there are significant disparities in academic performance, with some schools like Doral Academy Cactus consistently ranking among the top in the state, and others struggling to meet state and county averages.

Doral Academy Cactus, a public charter elementary/middle school, stands out with its 5-star rating and exceptional test scores, far exceeding the state and Clark County averages. In contrast, Gunderson Barry and June Middle School also performs well, ranking in the top 25% of Nevada middle schools, while other schools in the area struggle to meet academic benchmarks.

The data suggests that factors beyond just per-student spending, such as school choice and the challenges of high-poverty student populations, may play a significant role in the performance disparities observed. Further analysis would be needed to fully understand the drivers of these differences and identify strategies to support improvement at the lower-performing schools in the 89178 zip code area.
