Original Research by School Decision on Fertitta Victoria Ms
Fertitta Victoria Middle School sits in the southwest reaches of Las Vegas, part of the Clark County School District. It serves grades six through eight as a regular public school, drawing a large and diverse student body that fills its corridors at a size typical of a big suburban middle school in this metro area.
The school's racial and ethnic makeup is genuinely mixed. Hispanic students form the largest single group, followed by White, Black, Asian, and multiracial students, with smaller Native Hawaiian or Pacific Islander and American Indian or Alaska Native populations. Every student at the school qualifies for free or reduced-price lunch, which places Fertitta Victoria firmly in the category of schools serving a high-poverty community. The data we received does not include IEP rates or English-learner counts, so a parent looking for detail on special-education services or language support would want to ask the school directly.
On Nevada's state assessments, the most recent results paint a mixed but not discouraging picture. In English language arts, a narrow majority of tested students reached proficiency, which is a reasonably strong result for a school of this size and demographic profile. Math proficiency landed below the halfway mark, with somewhat fewer than half of tested students meeting the state bar. Science results were similar to math. Participation was solid across all three subjects. We did not receive multi-year trend data, so there is no way to say from the available numbers whether these results represent improvement, stability, or decline over time. The average scale scores were also missing, which limits a deeper read on how students are performing relative to peers beyond the proficiency cut line.
No program offerings, course-access data, staffing figures, or discipline records were included in the materials we reviewed. That leaves a gap for parents who want to understand what electives, advanced coursework, arts, or athletic options exist, or what the school's approach to student behavior and support looks like. The school does not carry a magnet designation, and it is not a charter school, so it operates as a standard attendance-zone campus within the district.
The housing market around the school's zip code tells a story of a cooling but still relatively expensive corner of the Las Vegas metro. Typical home values sit above both the state and national benchmarks, though values have declined over the past year. Renting is meaningfully cheaper than carrying a mortgage at current interest rates, which may matter to families deciding whether to buy or rent in the attendance zone. Median rents are moderate relative to national household income figures, though local affordability always depends on a family's own circumstances. The broader economic backdrop shows a stable unemployment picture nationally and a mortgage-rate environment that has hovered in the mid-six range.
We searched for recent Clark County School District policy changes, curriculum updates, referendum activity, or tax shifts that would have a lasting impact on families, but the publicly reported results did not surface anything relevant. The district brief came back empty on that front, so we left it out rather than speculate.
What a parent can take from this profile is a school with a genuinely diverse student body, full economic-need enrollment, and academic results that are strongest in reading and writing, softer in math and science. For a family considering this zone, the most useful next step would be to visit the campus and ask about the supports and enrichment offerings that the available data does not cover.
