Summary

Virgin Valley High School is a public high school in Mesquite, NV, serving grades 9–12 with 765 students as part of the Clark County School District, and it has no other schools within 20 miles for direct comparison.

For parents, the clearest strength is graduation: the rate rose from 80.1% in 2022–2023 to 91.7% in 2023–2024 and 94.8% in 2024–2025, putting it roughly 8–10 percentage points above both district and state averages. Chronic absenteeism also improved sharply, from 45.0% in 2021–2022 to 26.9% in 2025–2026, though it remains slightly above Nevada’s average. ACT Math has consistently been above district and state averages, and resources have improved: per-student spending reached $14,072 in 2023–2024, while the student–teacher ratio improved to 18.6 in 2024–2025. These positive trends are notable given that the school reports nearly 100% free/reduced lunch eligibility.

Concerns include volatile English results: ACT English was very strong in 2023–2024 and 2024–2025 (57.0% and 59.0%) but fell to 49.1% in 2025–2026, below district and state. Recent science results are below benchmarks, with 2025–2026 End of Course science at 18.7%, about 8 points below district and state; the suppressed 9th- and 10th-grade science figures are unknown, not zero. The school’s overall rating was 2 stars and the 40th percentile in 2025–2026, below the state median, despite improved graduation and attendance. Subgroup effectiveness is mixed: low-income students are a relative strength at the 53rd percentile with 3 stars, while other subgroup results have fluctuated. With no nearby schools for comparison, district and state benchmarks are the best available context.

What people are saying

by a parent
Friday, August 10, 2018

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
