Summary

Rancho High School is a public magnet high school in Las Vegas, Nevada, serving 2,994 students in grades 9-12. The school is part of the Clark County School District, which is ranked 5th out of 12 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. However, Rancho High School has seen fluctuating performance, with its statewide ranking ranging from 57th to 77th among Nevada high schools in the past decade and a current 2-star rating.

Rancho High School's performance varies across different student subgroups. Asian and White students perform relatively well, ranking in the top 30% of Nevada high schools, while African American and Pacific Islander students also perform above average, ranking in the top 20%. However, female, Hispanic, and English Language Learner students, as well as students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, perform below average, ranking in the bottom 50% of schools. The school's test scores are generally below the state and district averages, with proficiency rates declining in recent years. Rancho High School's four-year graduation rate of 81-88% is also slightly below the state average, and the school has a high chronic absenteeism rate ranging from 25.6% to 36.1%.

Compared to nearby schools, Rancho High School's performance is generally weaker than the Las Vegas Academy of the Arts High School, a top-performing magnet school in the area. However, Rancho outperforms the nearby alternative and detention center schools, such as Clark County Detention Center J-Senior High School and Juvenile Detention 6-12 J-Senior High School, which serve a more specialized student population. Addressing the socioeconomic challenges and implementing targeted interventions may be crucial for improving Rancho High School's overall academic outcomes.
