Best Middle Schools in Nevada
(2026 List)

Moonpreneur’s rating is based primarily on the STEM performance of the School using the Math Score of the School. We also take into account the Student teacher ratio, the review and rating by others. Read more on how STEM ranking was calculated.

Nevada has improved its middle school education through Accountability Reform standards and strong charter school leadership. According to the Nevada School Performance Framework, 30% of Nevada schools received a 4- or 5-star rating in 2025, up from 9% in prior years, and 70% of schools reduced chronic absenteeism. Students across the state made progress in both Math and English Language Arts. As a result, many students who were previously considered "at risk" have improved their academic performance across all subject areas. With the Nevada Open Enrollment policy, which went into effect in 2025, families have more options to choose high-performing schools. Parents can confidently select the best middle school in Nevada for their child. You can explore the best elementary schools in Nevada here.
