Summary

East Career and Technical Academy High School is a grades 9–12 career and technical high school in Las Vegas, Nevada, serving 1,848 students at 6705 Vegas Valley Dr as part of the Clark County district. In the most recent year (2025–26) it ranked 54th of 105 Nevada high schools — the 49th percentile, with 3 stars. That is a shift from its earlier run: from 2015–16 through 2018–19 the school was a 4-star school in the 70th–81st percentile. It has since settled in the 49th–59th percentile range.

Two things stand out as strengths. First, attendance: chronic absenteeism was 19.4% in 2025–26, better than the district (27.0%) and state (25.5%), and down from 28.7% in 2021–22. Nearby comprehensive high schools report far higher rates — Las Vegas High School at 36.9%, Eldorado High School at 41.4%, and Chaparral High School at 53.5%. Second, English: ACT English proficiency was 59.0%, above the district (51.2%) and state (50.8%), and well ahead of Las Vegas High (38.4%), Eldorado (31.9%), and Chaparral (25.4%). It has been above district and state in every recent reported year.

Science is the clearest academic gap. End of Course science proficiency was 22.5% in 2025–26, below the district (27.0%) and state (26.5%), and it has been below both in each recent reported year. ACT Math (22.2%) is essentially at district level but slightly below state. The most useful comparison is Southeast Career Technical Academy High School, a similar career and technical academy 4.39 miles away, which outperforms on every reported measure — 81.4% in English, 37.4% in math, 44.8% in science, 13.1% absenteeism, and an 85th percentile rank. Notably, both schools spend close to the same per student, so the gap is not explained by funding.
