Summary:
Laughlin, Nevada is served by a single public high school option in this data set: Laughlin J-Senior High School, a combined junior and senior high campus serving grades 6–12 with 313 students. It is part of the Clark County district, which is ranked 5th of 12 in Nevada (58th percentile, 4 stars). The school reports 100% free/reduced lunch participation in 2024–2025, per-student spending of $22,886 in 2023–2024, and a student-teacher ratio of 14.2 in 2024–2025. Because it is the only high school in Laughlin in this file, comparisons are against the district and state rather than other local high schools.
Science is the school's most consistent relative strength. In 2025–2026, SBAC Science proficiency across all grades was 25.5%, which is 2 points above the district and equal to the state; in 2024–2025, it was 28%, above both. Eighth grade Reading also stood out in 2025–2026 at 46.5%, above the district's 39.0% and the state's 41.6%. Eleventh grade ACT English was a clear high point in 2024–2025, with 63.8% proficient — far above district and state — before falling back the following year.
Mathematics is the clearest challenge: in 2025–2026, only 11.6% of students were proficient in SBAC Mathematics across all grades, against 33.8% in the district and 36.2% statewide, and it declined from 20.4% the prior year. ACT English also dropped to 42.8% in 2025–2026, below both benchmarks, though this may reflect a different cohort rather than a schoolwide decline. The graduation rate of 82.3% in 2024–2025 trails the district's 86.6% and the state's 85.4%, and chronic absenteeism at 28.0% in 2025–2026 is slightly above district and state. Rankings have been volatile: 37 of 103 (64th percentile, 3 stars) in 2024–2025, then 65 of 105 (38th percentile, 2 stars) in 2025–2026. Several grade-level results are suppressed by the state for privacy, so they are unknown rather than evidence of weakness.
