Summary

Nevada State High School Henderson is a small charter high school in Henderson, Nevada, serving only grades 11 and 12 with 182 students as part of the State Sponsored Charter Schools district, which ranks 2nd of 12 districts statewide (5 stars). The school itself ranked 35th of 105 Nevada high schools in 2025–2026 (67th percentile, 3 stars). That is above average, but it marks a clear slide from earlier peaks: it was 8th of 96 in 2022–2023 (92nd percentile, 5 stars) and 9th of 101 in 2020–2021.

In 2025–2026 ACT results, 29.5% of 11th graders were proficient in math and 74.4% in English — well above district averages (21.9% math, 52.8% English) and state averages (22.6% and 50.8%). English is the relative strength. Both subjects fell sharply after 2022–2023, when math was 49.2% and English 80.5%, then dropped again the following year before improving in 2025–2026, so the latest numbers are a rebound rather than a return to peak. Historically, the school has been notably effective for low-income and military-connected students, earning several 5-star subgroup rankings.

Among nearby options, Coral Academy Sandy Ridge (70.1 math, 89.5 English) and Southeast Career Technical Academy High School (37.4/81.4) outperform it in both subjects, while its sibling Nevada State High School Downtown Henderson posts higher math (39.5) but lower English (70.2). Nevada State High School Henderson beats Green Valley High School, Basic Academy of Int'l Studies High School, Del Sol Academy of Performing Arts High School, and Nevada Virtual Charter School. It serves a lower-poverty population (24.18% free/reduced lunch) and spends less per student ($5,222) than Coral ($12,709) or Clark County comprehensives (about $11,000–$12,300). Its reported student-teacher ratio of 1,654.5 is a reporting anomaly, not a class size, and no graduation or chronic absenteeism data was provided.

What people are saying

by a student
Thursday, March 17, 2016

The school is only good because we get to take classes at the local community college. The people who run the school are AWFUL. They are rude and sarcastic. You are expected to read their mind. It was better earlier this year when we had a regular teacher and principal at our school. They were nice and treated us with respect, but for "budget reasons" they got rid of both of them. (Of course they hired another person and gave two other people raises.) Now the morale at the school is horrible...no one likes being treated like they're stupid. Close Quote

This school has a active investigation from the U.S. Department of Education Officer of Civil Rights for over 6 allegations for failing to abide by the Federal Laws regarding disabilities, accommodations and 4 plus counts of retaliation. DO NOT SEND YOUR CHILD TO THIS SCHOOL THERE ARE MORE OPTIONS THAT ARE OPEN, AND SCHOOLS WITHIN THE STATE THAT ABIDE BY THE LAWS. Close Quote
