Summary
Green Valley High School is a large public high school in Henderson, Nevada, serving grades 9–12 in the Clark County School District with 2,436 students, nearly all from low-income households (100% free or reduced-price lunch). In 2025–2026 it ranked 42nd of 105 Nevada high schools — 60th percentile, 3 stars — a clear rebound from 55th of 103 (47th percentile, 2 stars) the year before and 55th of 97 (43rd percentile) in 2023–2024, though still below its 2018–2019 peak of 29th of 136 at the 79th percentile. Its 90.1% graduation rate tops the district (86.6%) and state (85.4%).
Compared with nearby comprehensive Clark County high schools, Green Valley outperforms Chaparral High School, Silverado High School, and Del Sol Academy of Performing Arts High School on state rank, English ACT, math ACT, science End of Course, and chronic absenteeism. English is its standout: 68.3% proficiency versus 51.2% district and 50.8% state, and far ahead of Silverado (47.5%), Del Sol (46.6%), and Chaparral (25.4%). Math is a more modest 23.5% — slightly above district (22.3%) and state (22.6%) — while science EOC stands at 30.8%, above district (27%) and state (26.5%). Southeast Career Technical Academy High School, a career/technical magnet, outperforms Green Valley on every academic measure, including 37.4% ACT math and 44.8% science EOC.
Chronic absenteeism is the clearest weakness: 28.7% of students were chronically absent in 2025–2026, above the district (27.0%) and state (25.5%), though improved from 37.1% in 2021–2022 and better than Chaparral (53.5%), Silverado (33.8%), and Del Sol (38.5%). Graduation is solid but not a differentiator — Silverado (93.0%) and Del Sol (93.8%) edge slightly higher. Nearby charter schools such as Nevada State High School Downtown Henderson and Nevada State High School Henderson post higher ACT scores, but they are much smaller, serve lower-poverty populations, and often enroll only grades 11–12, so they are not direct peers. Overall, Green Valley is a large, high-poverty neighborhood school that beats its comprehensive neighbors in most areas, with English and science as strengths and math consistency and attendance as areas to watch.
