Summary

Virgin Valley High School is a public high school located in Mesquite, Nevada, serving 780 students in grades 9-12. The school is part of the Clark County School District, which is the 5th largest district in the state and rated 4 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger.

Over the past 10 years, Virgin Valley High School's statewide ranking has fluctuated between 46th and 70th out of over 100 Nevada high schools, with its SchoolDigger rating ranging from 2 to 3 stars. The school's performance across different student subgroups is mixed, with female, male, Hispanic, and White students generally ranking in the middle to upper-middle range compared to their peers, while English Language Learners and Special Education students have shown more variability. The school's four-year graduation rates have been relatively stable, ranging from 81.4% to 91.7%, but its chronic absenteeism rates have been significantly higher than the state and district averages, ranging from 25.6% to 31.3%.

In standardized test scores, Virgin Valley High School has generally performed below the Clark County School District and state averages in science, math, and English, with proficiency rates ranging from around 15% to 59%. This suggests that academic achievement is an area that requires focused attention and improvement. The school serves a student population with a very high percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage, which is likely a contributing factor to the school's academic and attendance challenges.

I moved to Mesquite specifically so my son could attend Virgin Valley High School. They are very student oriented and make sure the students are treated well,have access to good and unique classes, and offer more experiences than a larger high school can because there is a smaller student to teacher ratio. The community is very supportive of their activities so students are able to participate in events other schools may not be able to afford to give them. My son went from average to a 4.0 student and is loving school immensely. Thank you all staff at VVHS!! Close Quote
