Summary

Spring Valley High School is a public magnet high school in Las Vegas, Nevada, serving 2,677 students in grades 9-12 and part of the Clark County School District, which is ranked 5th out of 12 districts in the state.

Spring Valley High School consistently outperforms the district and state averages in standardized test scores, particularly in English/Language Arts, with 64.2% of 11th-grade students proficient or better in the ACT English exam compared to 48.8% in Clark County and 47.6% in Nevada. The school also performs well in science, with 25.6% of students proficient or better in the EOC Science Exam, compared to 22.9% in Clark County and 23.1% in Nevada. However, the school's math performance, while still better than the district and state averages, is not as strong as its English and science results. The school excels in supporting certain student subgroups, ranking 3rd out of 7 Nevada high schools for African American students and 10th out of 61 for English Language Learners.

While Spring Valley High School generally outperforms nearby schools in the Clark County School District, such as Clark Educational W High School and Bonanza High School, it lags behind the high-performing charter schools in the area, such as the Nevada State High School campuses. The school's high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, over 99%, indicates a predominantly low-income student population, yet the school has been able to maintain strong academic performance, suggesting effective strategies for supporting students from disadvantaged backgrounds.
