The top reported proficiency rate is 28% in English language arts. The lowest is 10% in Math.
Original Research by School Decision on 100 Academy of Engineering and Technology Ms
100 Academy of Engineering and Technology MS is a small charter middle school in North Las Vegas serving grades six through eight. Its enrollment is modest even for a single-grade-band school, and every student qualifies for free or reduced-price lunch. The student body is predominantly Black, with a sizable Hispanic contingent and small numbers of students from other racial and ethnic backgrounds. The school operates under the Clark County School District umbrella, though as a charter it carries its own mission and identity focused on engineering and technology.
On state assessments, the most recent results show real academic difficulty. Math proficiency is very low, with only a handful of tested students reaching proficiency. English language arts fares better but still sits well below what most families would hope to see, with roughly a quarter of tested students proficient. Science proficiency was suppressed, so no reading is available there. Participation rates were solid across all subjects. No multi-year trend data was available, so it is not possible to say whether these results represent a decline, a plateau, or early growth from a lower base. A parent may want to ask the school directly how it is responding to these numbers and what support structures are in place.
The school sits in North Las Vegas, a suburban city within the Las Vegas metropolitan area that has been one of the fastest-growing places in the country. The built environment is car-dependent, with master-planned communities like Aliante and Eldorado separated from industrial and warehouse-distribution corridors. The local economy has traditionally leaned on manufacturing and logistics, with major employers including Nellis Air Force Base, Amazon, Sephora, and Bigelow Aerospace. Publicly reported developments in 2024 included a PCM Railone AG production facility and North American headquarters tied to the Brightline West high-speed rail project, signaling continued industrial investment. There is no traditional downtown center; civic life is distributed across parks, libraries, and recreation centers spread through different neighborhoods. The city maintains dozens of parks, three full-service libraries, and a network of paved regional trails connecting to the broader Neon to Nature system.
Housing in the school's zip code is moderately priced compared with state benchmarks, with typical home values sitting below the Nevada statewide figure. Both home values and rents have been easing downward recently, which may ease some pressure on families looking to move into the area. Rent remains meaningfully cheaper than the monthly cost of ownership at current mortgage rates, so renting near the school is the more affordable option for most households.
Several categories of information that parents often weigh were absent from the available data. No IEP or English learner counts were reported, so the school's special education and language-support profile is unclear. Discipline data, course access details, staffing figures, and attendance records were not available. No program offerings were listed beyond what the school's name implies in engineering and technology. The district brief returned no parent-relevant changes for Clark County, so there is little to report on recent district-level policy or curriculum shifts.
What the picture does show is a very small, economically disadvantaged middle school with an engineering and technology focus and state test results that point to serious academic challenges. Families drawn to the STEM theme and the intimacy of a small school may find the concept appealing, but the proficiency data suggests a close conversation with school leadership is warranted before enrolling. Asking how the school supports students performing below grade level, what its intervention model looks like, and how it tracks growth over time would be a reasonable next step.
