Summary

Nevada State High School Northwest is a state-sponsored charter high school in Las Vegas, NV, serving grades 11–12 with 126 students as part of the State Sponsored Charter Schools district. It has a much smaller enrollment and a lower reported free/reduced-lunch rate (19.84%) than most nearby Clark County high schools, and it spent $4,939 per student in 2023–2024. Its rank history shows a slide: from 11th of 101 (89th percentile, 5 stars) in 2020–2021 to 46th of 105 (56th percentile, 3 stars) in 2025–2026. That still leaves it slightly above the middle of Nevada high schools, but no longer in the top decile.

ACT English is the school’s standout strength. In 2025–2026, 61.5% of students were proficient in English versus 52.8% in the district and 50.8% statewide, and prior years were higher. Among nearby schools, Northwest Career-Technical Academy High School led at 84.3%, Arbor View High School was close at 64.2%, and Nevada State High School Northwest was above Nevada State High School North Las Vegas (58.9%), Shadow Ridge High School (56.0%), Centennial High School (46.8%), Explore Academy (42.8%), Cimarron-Memorial High School (31.7%), and Cheyenne High School (17.5%). Math is the concern: proficiency fell from 40.4% in 2022–2023 to 23.0% in 2025–2026, only 0.4 points above the state. Nearby math leaders were Northwest CTA (47.8%), Arbor View (33.6%), and Shadow Ridge (25.8%), while the target school was near Centennial (22.8%) and above Cimarron-Memorial (6.5%).

Northwest Career-Technical Academy High School is the clearest nearby benchmark: 5 stars, 90th percentile, 10th of 105, 84.3% ACT English, 47.8% ACT math, and 10.8% chronic absenteeism. The closest peer is Nevada State High School North Las Vegas, another small 11–12 state charter. The target school has more students, higher ACT English, lower free/reduced-lunch percentage, similar spending, and a higher reported student-teacher ratio. Attendance and graduation data are missing for the target school, and some nearby scores are suppressed, so comparisons are directional. Overall, families can see a school that remains above median and strong in English, but with a math decline and a lower overall rating than in earlier years.
