Our Cougars are like family. Learn all about who we are, and meet the people who come together to make Flag View Intermediate School an excellent place for your child to learn and grow.

Flag View Intermediate School isn’t a typical elementary school. Although an elementary school, we are one of the few fifth and sixth-grade schools in the entire state of Nevada. At FIS, we actively prepare our students for middle and high school. As part of this preparation our teachers are departmentalized by content area meaning they will be exposed to different teachers throughout the normal school day.

The Flag View Community proactively guides and supports students, as life-long learners, to reach their potential by being responsible and respectful leaders.
