Summary

Rancho High School is a large 9–12 comprehensive high school in the Clark County School District in Las Vegas, NV (89101), enrolling 2,715 students and reporting 100% free/reduced lunch in recent years. Statewide, Rancho ranks 59th of 105 schools in 2025–26 (44th percentile, 2 stars), an improvement from its low of 77th of 96 (20th percentile, 1 star) in 2022–23, though still below its earlier standing of roughly 50th–54th percentile.

Graduation is a clear strength: 91.6% in 2024–25, above the district's 86.6% and the state's 85.4%. Chronic absenteeism is the biggest challenge at 38.3% in 2025–26, higher than the district's 27.0% and the state's 25.5%, though it has improved from 45.9% in 2021–22. Test scores have recovered sharply — ACT English proficiency rose from 30.2% in 2022–23 to 49.7% in 2025–26, and Math from 14.0% to 20.8%, now close to district and state averages. Science remains lower at 22.4%, versus 27.0% district and 26.5% state. Per-student spending was $10,605 in 2023–24, and the student-teacher ratio improved to 21.2 in 2024–25.

Among nearby comprehensive schools, Rancho sits in the middle. It trails Las Vegas Academy of the Arts High School (92nd percentile, 5 stars), which posts much higher proficiency and lower absenteeism, but it outperforms Desert Pines High School (10th percentile, 1 star) on rank, graduation, absenteeism, and every available achievement measure — while spending less per student than both. The state's effectiveness ratings for Rancho vary across student groups, and current ratings for several groups are not provided.
