Francis H Cortney Junior High School

Francis H Cortney Junior High School serves students ages 11 to 14 in Las Vegas at 5301 E Hacienda Ave (89122), and functions as a public school rather than an after-school program or camp. Beyond core academic subjects, the listing notes elective classes, sports teams, academic clubs, arts programs, test preparation, and special education support, reflecting the full range of a typical junior high curriculum and extracurricular offering.

The school is marked wheelchair accessible and special needs friendly, with listed support including special education services, help for students with learning disabilities, inclusive programming, ADHD support, and emotional and behavioral support, which points to a reasonably built-out support structure for students who need it.

School hours run 7:00 AM to 5:00 PM Monday through Friday, closed on weekends, and the school follows a school-year operating season rather than running year round. As a public school, the price range is listed as free.

Families researching sports teams, clubs, or specific elective offerings for an incoming 11 to 14 year old can call the school directly at (702) 799-2400, or visit cortneyjhs.org for a class schedule, staff directory, or enrollment information specific to the current school year.

On PlayPivot, this listing falls under Education, specifically Test Prep, though that undersells the breadth of what a full junior high offers; the test prep classification reflects one piece of the school's programming rather than its full identity as a public school. Families using PlayPivot to find after-school activities may find this listing most useful as a reference for what clubs and sports teams already exist at the school before looking for outside programs that duplicate them.

Because the school operates on a school-year schedule rather than year round, families of incoming or current students at Cortney should plan around a traditional academic calendar for programs, clubs, and sports, and should check directly with the school office for the specific dates of any given school year rather than assuming a fixed summer break window applies to every activity listed.
