Best High Schools in Zip Code 87701

ZIP code 87701 covers Las Vegas, New Mexico, and contains three high schools — West Las Vegas High School and Wlv Family Partnership, both in West Las Vegas Public Schools, and Robertson High in Las Vegas City Public Schools. Together they enroll 803 students in grades 9–12, with Wlv Family Partnership also serving grade 7, and all three report 100% free/reduced lunch.

West Las Vegas High School is the largest (442 students) and the strongest overall in this small group. Its graduation rate of 83.8% tops the state's 80.6%, and its 11th-grade science proficiency of 30% is the highest reported among the three, though still below the state's 34.02%. It holds a 2-star rating and 30th percentile rank in 2025–26, but its math proficiency is under 10% and its ELA is 25.84%. Robertson High (331 students) posts the higher ELA result at 27.87% — still under the state's 36.78% — and its 80.8% graduation rate essentially matches the state, yet its science proficiency is the lowest reported at 16.67% and its rank fell to 1 star and the 14th percentile.

Wlv Family Partnership is the outlier: just 30 students, the lowest student-teacher ratio (8.3), and a 53.6% graduation rate, roughly 27 points below the state. Its test scores are suppressed by the state and should be treated as unknown, not as zeros, and its most recent rank data are from 2015–16. Notably, no school here exceeds the state average in any reported proficiency measure, and lower student-teacher ratios do not line up with stronger outcomes. West Las Vegas High remains the best performer, but its rank has slipped from the 43rd to the 30th percentile in recent years.
