Summary

Desert Oasis High School is a large 9–12 public high school in Las Vegas, Nevada, serving about 3,300 students as part of the Clark County district — the biggest enrollment in its nearby comparison group.

Its standout result is completion: a 96.1% graduation rate in 2024-2025, up from 90.3% the year before and 89.0% the year before that, and higher than every nearby school with reported data, including Coronado High School (94.1%), Sierra Vista High School (93.7%), Silverado High School (93.0%), Liberty High School (91.9%), and Durango High School (91.4%). ACT Math and English scores also come in above district and state averages in every recent year. Science is the weak spot: 22.1% proficient on the 2025-2026 EOC Science exam, versus 27.0% district and 26.5% state. The 2025-2026 9th- and 10th-grade science results are suppressed, so those cannot be evaluated. Statewide, the school ranked 56th of 105 Nevada high schools (47th percentile, 2 stars) in 2025-2026, down from 48th of 103 in 2024-2025 and well below its 2015-2018 highs in the 68th–71st percentile. Chronic absenteeism was 32.6% in 2025-2026, above the district (27.0%) and state (25.5%), though it improved a lot from 42.2% in 2021-2022 to 27.8% in 2024-2025.

Among nearby traditional high schools, Desert Oasis has lower absenteeism than Durango (44.8%) and Silverado (33.8%), but it trails selective models such as Coronado, Southwest Career & Technical Academy High School (6th of 105), and Coral Academy Sandy Ridge (4th of 105). Its student-teacher ratio was 25.9 in 2024-2025 and per-student spending was $10,013 in 2023-2024, both middle-of-the-pack locally. The school's effectiveness rankings are relatively strong for Hispanic students and low-income students (often 57th–69th percentile) but very low recently for Asian students (4th percentile in 2025-2026).

Open Quote This school offers multiple advanced classes, an excellent selection of electives, and a strong fundamental base. They truly have an excellent group of dedicated teachers, that are accessible. Our family has moved several times due to work relocations, truly a top notch school. Very pleased with the educational opportunities, the staff and especially the teachers Close Quote

Open Quote My grand-daughter attended Desert Oasis High School. She was told she could graduate a year early if she did extra studies a earned the needed 3 1/2 credits. The 3 1/2 credits had to be finished by February 2012 in order for her to graduate June of 2012.
She completed the required studies to receive the needed 3 1/2 credits at a cost of $100.00 per 1/2 credit plus book deposits.
She checked with her guidence counslor to make sure everything was completed and was told she had completed the requirements to graduate June of 2012.
We got the graduation pictures taken, ordered the graduation announcements, and ordered the graduation cap and gown.
On the very last day of school we receive a call from the Desert Oasis High School saying she was short 1/2 credit and would not be able to graduate until that 1/2 credit was completed. They would not take any responcibility for this error.
We immediately went to the Adult Education center and signed up for another 1/2 credit at any additional cost of $100.00.
We were informed that numerous graduating students from Desert Oasis High School were also trying to get another 1/2 credit in order to graduate. They informed us none of the students would be graduating with their class because of this so called error. That these students would have to walk in August if they wanted to participate in a graduation ceremony. If nothing else the diploma would be mailed to the student.
After numerous unreturned phone calls to Desert Oasis High School my grand-daughter goes to the school in September of 2012 to get her diploma.
They have her graduating year down as 2011 instead of the proper year, 2012.
Desert Oasis High School couldn't even get her graduating year right.
It's sad when the majority of our taxes goes to this type of school. Close Quote
