Summary
Eldorado High School is a comprehensive 9–12 school in the Clark County school district, located at 1139 N Linn Ln in Las Vegas, enrolling 1,926 students. It reports 100% free/reduced lunch, and in 2025–26 it ranked 93rd of 105 Nevada high schools — the 11th percentile, with 1 star. That places it in the bottom decile statewide, even though the Clark County district overall is rated 5th of 12 (58th percentile, 4 stars). Its rank history shows 5th–21st percentile from 2015–16 through 2025–26, so the recent position is slightly better than the lows of 2020–21 and 2022–23, but still very low.
Two things stand out most for families. First, the graduation rate is a genuine strength: 88.2 in 2024–25, above the district (86.6) and state (85.4), and consistently above both going back to 2020–21. Second, chronic absenteeism is the clearest red flag: 41.4 in 2025–26 versus 27.0 for the district and 25.5 statewide. It has improved substantially from 63.9 four years earlier, but remains roughly 14–16 points above district and state norms. Test proficiency is low across the board — ACT Math 10.8 (district 22.3, state 22.6), ACT English 31.9 (district 51.2, state 50.8), and Science End of Course 10.9 (district 27.0, state 26.5). Some 9th- and 10th-grade Science End of Course results are suppressed by the state, so those are unknown rather than zero. A low-SES subgroup ranking of 16th percentile in 2025–26 mirrors the school's overall bottom-decile position.
Compared with nearby zoned high schools, Eldorado is not the weakest. It edges out Sunrise Mountain High School and Desert Pines High School in overall percentile, and its ACT Math beats Las Vegas High School (5.7), Sunrise Mountain (5.3), and Desert Pines (7.3); its ACT English also beats Sunrise Mountain (25.1) and Desert Pines (29.8), though not Las Vegas (38.4). Its spending rose from $8,375 (2020–21) to $12,116 (2023–24), and its 20.2 student/teacher ratio is better than Las Vegas (21.6) and Sunrise Mountain (21.4). The nearby charter Equipo Academy, serving a similarly high-poverty population, ranks higher (25th percentile) with far lower absenteeism (6.6) and higher scores, though it is not a like-for-like comparison.
