Original Research by School Decision on O'callaghan Mike Ms I3 Learn Academy
O'Callaghan Mike MS i3 Learn Academy is a regular public middle school in Las Vegas, serving grades six through eight within the Clark County School District. The i3 Learn Academy designation appears in the school's name, but the available data does not describe what that program entails, so a parent would want to ask the school directly about its focus and structure.
The school is large for a middle school, with enrollment spread across the grade levels fairly evenly, though the entry grade is the largest. The student body is predominantly Hispanic, with smaller groups of white, Black, Asian, and multiracial students. Every student qualifies for free or reduced-price lunch, which reflects the economic conditions in the surrounding neighborhood and places the school firmly in a high-poverty context. Data on students with individualized education programs and English learners was not available, so those population sizes are unknown here.
On state assessments, the school's results paint a mixed picture. English language arts is the strongest area, with a majority of tested students reaching proficiency. Science sits in the middle, with roughly half of tested eighth graders proficient. Math is the soft spot, with fewer than half of students reaching proficiency. Participation rates were strong across all subjects. Average scale scores were not reported, and no multi-year trend data was available, so it is not possible to say from this data whether performance is improving, declining, or holding steady. A parent concerned about math outcomes may want to look into this further with the school, particularly what interventions or support structures are in place.
The school sits in a Las Vegas zip code where housing values are below both state and national benchmarks. Home values in the area have dipped slightly over the past year, while rents have risen modestly. For families weighing renting versus buying, renting runs cheaper than carrying a mortgage in this neighborhood. The broader mortgage rate environment remains elevated. Median household income figures available are national-level data rather than specific to this zip code, so they do not directly describe this neighborhood's economics.
Clark County School District is a very large district, and the school benefits from the scale and resources that come with that. We searched for recent district-level changes that might affect families, such as policy shifts, curriculum updates, or budget decisions, but found little that was clearly parent-relevant. The picture here is drawn from the school's own data rather than broader district context.
Several categories that parents often ask about were absent from the available data. There is no information on course offerings, advanced or elective programs, career pathways, or dual-credit options. Staffing data, including teacher experience or student-to-teacher ratios, was not provided. Attendance and chronic absenteeism figures were not available. Discipline data was not included. Title I status was not reported, though the universal free-or-reduced-price lunch rate suggests the school likely qualifies. Civil rights data, which can speak to equity in access and treatment, was also absent. A magnet designation was listed as null, meaning the school is neither confirmed as a magnet program nor explicitly ruled out as one. No neighbor comparison data was available to position this school against nearby middle schools.
What the data does show is a large, predominantly Hispanic middle school in a working-class Las Vegas neighborhood where every student receives meal assistance. Academic results are strongest in reading and weaker in math, with science landing in between. Families considering this school would benefit from asking directly about the i3 academy's focus, math support structures, available electives and advanced coursework, and what the school day looks like in practice, since much of that operational detail is not captured in the available data.
