Summary

West Preparatory Institute J-Senior High School is a public high school in Las Vegas, Nevada, serving grades 6-12 with a total enrollment of 1,210 students. The school is part of the Clark County School District, which is ranked 5th out of 12 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

West Preparatory Institute J-Senior High School has had a fluctuating statewide ranking, ranging from 19th out of 105 Nevada high schools in 2013-2014 to 85th out of 136 in 2018-2019. The school's SchoolDigger rating has also varied, from a high of 4 stars out of 5 in 2013-2014 and 2014-2015 to a low of 1 star in recent years. While the school has performed particularly well with its English Language Learner (ELL) students, it has struggled with its African American and Hispanic student populations, ranking lower than nearby schools like Rancho High School, The Delta Academy J-Senior High School, and Advanced Technologies Academy High School.

West Preparatory Institute J-Senior High School has a four-year graduation rate around 81-82% in recent years, which is lower than the state and district averages. Additionally, the school has a high chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 25.6% to 31.3% in recent years, significantly higher than the state and district averages. Despite the high percentage of low-income students, the school spends a relatively high amount per student, but this higher spending does not seem to translate into improved academic outcomes, suggesting a need for a comprehensive review and implementation of targeted interventions to improve student performance.
