Original Research by School Decision on Robison Dell H Ms
Robison Dell H MS is a regular public middle school in the Clark County School District, serving grades six through eight from its location on Marion Drive in Las Vegas. It operates as a traditional neighborhood school, not a charter or magnet, and its enrollment is large for a middle school in this grade band. The student body is predominantly Hispanic, with a smaller Black population and very small representation across other racial and ethnic groups. Every student in the building qualifies for free or reduced-price lunch, which marks this as a school serving an economically disadvantaged community. The data does not include individualized education program rates or English learner counts, so those population details are not available here.
The academic picture from the most recent state assessments is sobering. Proficiency in math is very low, with only a small fraction of tested students reaching the proficient threshold on the SBAC. English language arts results are stronger in relative terms, with roughly a quarter of students demonstrating proficiency, though that still leaves most students below the bar. Science proficiency sits in between the two, with about a fifth of tested students meeting the standard. Participation rates were solid across all three subjects, so the results reflect nearly the entire eligible student body rather than a skewed subset. Average scale scores were not available, and no multi-year trend data was provided, so it is not possible from this information alone to say whether performance is improving, declining, or holding steady. A parent trying to understand the trajectory would want to ask the school directly about that.
The school does not serve high school grades, so there is no graduation rate to report, and that gap reflects the grade band rather than a missing outcome.
The housing market surrounding the school tells a practical story for families considering the area. Home values in this zip code sit below the Nevada state benchmark and run close to the national figure, with a modest year-over-year decline. Rents have ticked up slightly over the past year. For families weighing whether to buy or rent, the monthly cost of renting comes in below the estimated monthly mortgage payment in this zip code, which is a real consideration in a market where the price-to-income ratio runs above the national reference point. Mortgage rates have been hovering in the mid-six-percent range, and the broader unemployment picture has been stable. None of this is extraordinary for Las Vegas, but it places the school in a working-class corner of a metropolitan area where housing costs, while below the state high end, still demand a meaningful share of household income.
Several categories of information that parents often ask about were not available in the data provided. There is no locale brief for this part of Las Vegas, so details about the immediate neighborhood, nearby amenities, or community character are not covered here. No program offerings were listed, which means the narrative cannot speak to whether the school offers honors courses, arts programs, athletics, career exploration, or after-school activities. No civil-rights data was included, so discipline patterns, access to advanced coursework, and related equity measures are not addressed. Staffing information was absent as well, leaving class sizes, teacher experience, and retention outside the picture. The district brief searched for recent parent-relevant changes in Clark County School District but did not find results focused on policy, curriculum, referendum, or tax changes with lasting impact on families.
What the data does make clear is that Robison Dell H MS is a large, traditional middle school serving a high-poverty, predominantly Hispanic student population in Las Vegas, with state assessment results that point to substantial academic challenges, particularly in mathematics. A family considering this school would benefit from asking about academic support structures, tutoring or intervention programs, available electives and activities, and what the school's own improvement priorities look like. Those conversations, paired with the figures on this page, would give a fuller sense of whether this environment fits a particular child.
