Summary

Shadow Ridge High School is a public high school located in Las Vegas, Nevada, serving 3,119 students in grades 9-12. It is part of the Clark County School District, which is ranked 5th out of 12 districts in Nevada and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Shadow Ridge High School has consistently ranked in the top half of Nevada high schools, with academic performance on standardized tests like the ACT and End-of-Course (EOC) Science Exam generally above the district and state averages. The school performs particularly well in certain student subgroups, such as female, male, and Hispanic students, ranking in the top half or better among Nevada high schools in these categories. However, the school struggles with the performance of Asian and multi-racial students, ranking in the bottom half or bottom third of Nevada high schools for these subgroups. The school's four-year graduation rate of around 81-82% is on par with the district and state averages, but its chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 25.6% to 31.3%, is significantly higher than the district and state averages.

Compared to nearby schools, Mojave High School and Cheyenne High School, Shadow Ridge High School generally outperforms them in academic metrics. However, it lags behind the high-performing Northwest Career-Technical Academy High School, which consistently ranks among the top 15 high schools in Nevada. Additionally, the extremely high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, nearly 100%, suggests that Shadow Ridge High School serves a predominantly low-income student population, which may require additional resources and support.
