The top reported proficiency rate is 27% in English language arts. The lowest is 9% in Math.
Original Research by School Decision on Woodbury C W Ms
Woodbury C W Middle School sits on East Harmon Avenue in Las Vegas, serving grades six through eight as part of the Clark County School District. It is a regular public school, not a charter or magnet, and it draws a student body that is predominantly Hispanic, with smaller Black, White, and multiracial populations alongside a handful of students from other backgrounds. Every student at Woodbury qualifies for free or reduced-price lunch, which places the school among the highest-poverty campuses in the district. The enrollment is moderate for a middle school, spread across the three grade levels with the largest cohort in eighth grade.
On state assessments administered under Nevada's SBAC system in the most recent school year, Woodbury's results were low across all tested subjects. English language arts posted the strongest of the three, with roughly a quarter of tested students reaching proficiency. Science came in below that, and mathematics was the weakest area, where only a small fraction of students met the proficiency bar. Participation rates were solid, with nearly all eligible students sitting for the exams. Average scale scores were not reported in the data we received, so we cannot speak to how students performed below or above the proficiency cutoff. No multi-year trend data was available, which means there is no way here to tell whether these results represent a decline, stability, or improvement over time. A parent may want to ask the school directly about its improvement plans in mathematics, given how few students are currently reaching grade-level standards in that subject.
The data we looked for on English learners and students with individualized education programs was missing, so we cannot describe those populations or the services they receive. The same gap applies to discipline records, course access, staffing levels, and attendance figures. Title I status was not reported either, though the universal free-or-reduced-price-lunch rate strongly suggests the school likely receives federal Title I funding tied to its poverty level. We note these absences rather than guess at what they contain.
Housing in the school's zip code tells a story of a moderately priced Las Vegas neighborhood. Home values sit below the Nevada statewide benchmark and close to the national midpoint, and they have eased slightly over the past year. Rents have held roughly flat. For a family considering the area, renting remains meaningfully cheaper than carrying a mortgage at current interest rates, and the rent-to-income burden falls within a range most analysts consider manageable. The broader economic backdrop is stable, with unemployment near its recent average and household incomes trending upward nationally.
We searched for recent Clark County School District policy changes, curriculum updates, or budget actions that would affect families at Woodbury, but the publicly reported results did not surface anything specific. This does not mean nothing is happening at the district level, only that our search did not return parent-relevant changes we could ground in evidence.
What the picture does show is a middle school serving a high-need community in an affordable part of Las Vegas, with assessment results that point to real academic challenges, especially in mathematics. The school's English language arts outcomes, while still low, are comparatively stronger and may reflect where the school has more traction. Families considering Woodbury would do well to visit, ask about math intervention programs, and talk with teachers about how the school supports students performing below grade level. The data here is thin on programs, staffing, and student services, so those conversations will fill in what the numbers cannot.
