Summary

Valley High School is a large public high school in Las Vegas, Nevada, serving grades 9–12 in the Clark County School District with 2,467 students. Valley ranks 89 of 105 Nevada high schools in 2025–26 — the 15th percentile with 1 star — placing it in the bottom 15% of ranked high schools. That is an improvement from 2024–25, when it earned 0 stars and ranked at the 5th percentile, though still below its own recent high of the 25th percentile in 2017–18.

Graduation is a genuine strength: 93.0% in 2024–25, above the district (86.6%) and state (85.4%), and up from 82.9% the year before. Test proficiency tells a different story. ACT Math proficiency is 8.6% and ACT English 35.3% in 2025–26, with EOC Science End of Course at 13.5% — all below district and state averages; 9th- and 10th-grade EOC Science results are suppressed by the state, so they are unknown. Chronic absenteeism is the school's clearest challenge at 42.2% in 2025–26, well above the district (27.0%) and state (25.5%), though improved from 63.2% in 2021–22. Among nearby schools, only Miley Achievement Center J-Senior High School is higher, at 60.0%.

Resources have grown — per-student spending rose from $8,696 in 2020–21 to $11,893 in 2023–24, and the student-teacher ratio improved from 24.6 to 20.2 — yet proficiency remains low. Comparisons are striking: Las Vegas Academy of the Arts High School, also 100% free/reduced lunch with a similar student-teacher ratio, ranks 8 of 105 with 5 stars (ACT English 89%, ACT Math 45%). NV Learning Academy J-Senior High School ranks just below Valley at 90 of 105 with similar ACT English (34.1%), but graduates only 63.1%. Recent subgroup rankings are low across the board, from the 5th percentile for female students to the 17th for low-income students.
