Summary

Durango High School is a Clark County public high school in Las Vegas, Nevada, serving about 2,322 students in grades 9–12, with 100% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in 2024–2025. In 2025–2026 it ranked 60th of 105 Nevada high schools — the 43rd percentile — with 2 stars, placing it in the middle-to-lower range statewide.

Among nearby comprehensive high schools, Durango sits in the middle-to-lower tier. Spring Valley High School (62nd percentile, 3 stars), Sierra Vista High School (52nd, 3 stars) and Clark Educational W High School (48th, 3 stars) all rank higher, while Bonanza High School (16th percentile, 1 star) ranks well below. Graduation is a genuine strength: Durango's 91.4% rate in 2024–2025 beat the district's 86.6% and the state's 85.4%, and came close to Sierra Vista High School (93.7%) and Spring Valley High School (92.3%). Attendance is the clearest red flag — chronic absenteeism was 44.8% in 2025–2026, roughly 18 to 19 points above the state average and the highest among this group of neighborhood schools.

Test scores are improving but still middling. In 2025–2026, 45.5% of 11th graders met the ACT English benchmark (district 51.2%, state 50.8%) and 21.5% met ACT Math (district 22.3%, state 22.6%); End of Course Science was 24.1%, below both. The state suppressed Durango's 9th- and 10th-grade science results, so those are unknown rather than zeros. ACT English has risen from 31.6% in 2022–2023, and the school's overall standing moved from the 17th percentile in 2020–2021 to the 43rd in 2025–2026 — a recovery, though still below its 2018–2019 mark of 46. Per-student spending ($10,857) and class size (23.4 students per teacher) are close to Sierra Vista High School and Spring Valley High School, so resources alone don't explain the differences. Magnet and charter options such as Southwest Career & Technical Academy High School, College of So NV High School West and Nevada State High School Southwest post much higher scores and far lower absenteeism, but they serve different students and aren't a fair comparison. Results for students from low-income families are a relative bright spot.

I love my school, the teachers there are really helpful; when I need help in school I know there's always a teacher or a councilor who is there to help me. Close Quote
