Summary:

The city of Las Vegas, Nevada is home to 61 high schools that span a range of types, including public, public charter, public magnet, and public virtual schools. These schools serve students across the city and vary greatly in size, from as few as 10 students to over 3,200 students.

Several schools stand out as top performers in the Las Vegas area, including Advanced Technologies Academy High School, West Career & Technical Academy High School, Southeast Career Technical Academy High School, Northwest Career-Technical Academy High School, and Las Vegas Academy of the Arts High School. These magnet and career/technical schools demonstrate that Clark County has several high-quality public school options.

However, the data also reveals significant challenges facing many Las Vegas high schools. Graduation rates hover around the state average of 81.6%, while chronic absenteeism is quite high, often over 25%. Test scores vary widely, with the top schools performing exceptionally well but many others struggling with proficiency rates below 50%. Additionally, over 90% of students across the district qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating high levels of economic disadvantage. Addressing these socioeconomic hurdles and disparities in funding and resources will be critical to improving outcomes for all students in the Clark County school district.
