J D Smith Middle School

J.D. Smith Middle School is a public middle school in North Las Vegas serving students ages 11 to 14, the standard middle school age range. It is listed here for its extracurricular offerings rather than as a stand-alone youth program, since attendance is tied to school enrollment rather than open registration.

Beyond the academic day, the school runs a STEM program along with fine arts, visual arts, music, and drama. Athletics include basketball, track and field, volleyball, and soccer, and students can also join chess club, debate team, art club, and robotics or coding activities. Tutoring is available as well. That is a broad spread for a single campus, covering sports, arts, and academic clubs under one roof.

Facilities include athletic fields, a gymnasium, art rooms, music rooms, computer labs, and a library, which supports the range of programs listed: the computer labs give the STEM and coding activities dedicated space, the art and music rooms back the fine arts and visual arts offerings, and the gymnasium and athletic fields serve the basketball, track and field, volleyball, and soccer programs. The school operates on the school year calendar rather than year round, and is open Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m., closed on weekends.

J.D. Smith is listed as special needs friendly, with special education support, learning disability support, and inclusive programs noted. Families with a student who has an IEP or 504 plan should ask the front office how those specific supports integrate with the extracurricular clubs and sports listed above, since that level of detail is not captured here.

Cost is listed as free, consistent with public school enrollment and its associated clubs and teams, though some extracurriculars like travel sports may carry their own separate fees not reflected in this listing.
