Summary
Veterans Tribute CTA High School is a 9–12 school in Las Vegas, NV, located at 2531 Vegas Dr., serving 823 students in the Clark County district. For 2025–2026, it ranked 34th of 105 Nevada high schools, at the 68th percentile with 3 stars—above the state median but below its earlier peak, when it ranked 11th of 136 at the 92nd percentile with 5 stars in 2018–2019. The nearby Advanced Technologies Academy High School, just 0.13 miles away, ranks 1st of 105 at the 99th percentile with 5 stars, and Las Vegas Academy of the Arts High School ranks 8th at the 92nd percentile with 5 stars. That makes Veterans Tribute a solid mid-to-upper-tier school locally, but not at the top of its immediate area.
Its clearest strengths are attendance and proficiency. Chronic absenteeism was 16.8% in 2025–2026, below the district’s 27.0% and the state’s 25.5%; only Advanced Technologies Academy High School was lower nearby, at 15.4%. ACT English proficiency was 74.7%, ACT Math 33.8%, and EOC Science 32.2%, all above district and state averages. This is notable because reported free/reduced-lunch participation is 100%, and low-income students ranked at the 84th percentile statewide in 2025–2026. Per-student spending rose to $15,468 in 2023–2024 from $9,438 in 2020–2021, and the student-teacher ratio is 20.5.
Compared with other nearby schools, the school clearly outperforms West Dr. Charles I. Preparatory Academy, which ranks at the 23rd percentile with 38.5% ACT English, and Western High School, at the 5th percentile with 25.3% ACT English. Charter comparisons are mixed: Democracy Prep at Agassi High had a higher 2025–2026 rank and stronger ACT Math, but lower ACT English and higher absenteeism. Explore Academy and Thrive Point Academy show weaker proficiency and attendance profiles. Some 9th- and 10th-grade science results are suppressed, and no graduation-rate data was provided for Veterans Tribute—these should be treated as unknown, not zero. Overall, it is an above-average, high-poverty school with strong attendance and solid test results, though it operates in the shadow of two much higher-performing magnets and has declined from its 5-star peak.
