Summary:
The city of Henderson, Nevada is home to 9 high schools, a mix of public, public magnet, and public charter schools within the Clark County school district. These schools serve students in grades 9-12 and provide a diverse range of educational opportunities and outcomes.
The standout schools in the area are Coral Academy Sandy Ridge, a public charter school ranked 5th out of 103 high schools in the state with exceptional test scores, and College of Southern Nevada High School South, a public high school ranked 3rd in the state with outstanding ACT scores. In contrast, Basic Academy of International Studies High School and Green Valley High School have lower test scores and performance compared to their peers.
Across the district, the high schools share a consistent four-year graduation rate of 81.6%, but face challenges with a high chronic absenteeism rate of 26.6%. Additionally, all public high schools in the area have 100% of their students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating significant economic disadvantages among the student population. The wide range in spending per student, from $4,730 to $9,980, raises questions about the equity of resource allocation and its potential impact on student success.
