Summary

Clark Educational W High School is a large public high school in Las Vegas, Nevada, serving grades 9–12 in the Clark County School District with about 2,801 students.

Clark is a mid-pack comprehensive high school: its 2025–26 state rank is 55th of 105 schools, placing it at the 48th percentile with 3 stars. ACT Math is 27, above the district’s 22.3 and the state’s 22.6, while ACT English is 47.7, below the district’s 51.2 and state’s 50.8, and Science EOC is 24.7, below the district’s 27 and state’s 26.5. Compared with nearby large comprehensive schools, Clark outperforms Bonanza High School and Western High School: ACT Math 27 vs. 6.8 and 7.7, ACT English 47.7 vs. 30 and 25.3, and Science EOC 24.7 vs. 20.2 and 11.7. Smaller specialized schools like College of So NV High School West and Nevada State High School Summerlin post higher ACT scores, but they serve far fewer students and use different models. Clark’s graduation rate is 87.1%, above district and state averages, but chronic absenteeism is 44.2%, far above the district’s 27.0% and state’s 25.5%. That is the school’s clearest red flag: it is worse than Bonanza High School’s 40.0%, Global Community High School’s 19.4%, College of So NV High School West’s 33.3%, and Thrive Point Academy’s 37.0%, though better than Western High School, South Academic Center J-Senior High School, Burk Horizon-Southwest Sunset High School, and Beacon Academy of Nevada.

Resources have improved: per-student spending rose from $7,720 in 2020–21 to $12,108 in 2023–24, and the student-teacher ratio improved from 21.7 in 2022–23 to 18.3 in 2024–25. Subgroup results are uneven: low-income students are around average to slightly above at the 58th percentile with 3 stars, despite 100% free/reduced lunch. Other groups lag, so targeted supports may be needed. Overall, Clark is a large, high-poverty, mid-ranked comprehensive high school that outperforms its nearest large comprehensive peers on tested subjects, graduates students at an above-average rate, but must address serious absenteeism and uneven subgroup outcomes to improve further.

Open Quote Clark has a lot to offer. I don't see a lot of trouble out of the students. They are not superficial or consumed with material things. It seem that the students have good educational interests. Close Quote
