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.

Open Quote There was a situation that was personal for me and my family, whose child goes to Veterans. I must say that the situation, while personal and private, was handled with the greatest of respect and sensitivity that the situation required. I am comfortable that my family member that goes to this school is well considered and I felt at ease with the outcome and the quick response they gave. I am glad that my family member is going to the school and that they are diligent and kind. Close Quote

Open Quote This school is great! I came the first year they opened and im not planning in leaving any time soon! This schhol has very high standards. You must have a G.P.A of at least 2.4 and it has to be mantained the whole year to return. They kick you out for the slightest things because they need to maintain a good record. We have 5 programs:Computer Forensics, 911 Dispath, C.S.I, EMS, and Law Enforcement. I am in the EMS(Emergency Medical Services) and love it! Even though paremdic or EMT is not in my future career it never hurts to try other things. We have our own ambulance simulator. Also we have a school wide scenario from the GPS foundation and all first responders(who have been there since freshman year) were reported to a scene where we had a guy running around school with a bat beating everyone(not real!) and law enforcement students arrested him, EMS where on scene helping everyone who got hurt by "drunk" man, 911 dispathers resonded to all calls, computer forensics tracked all his info, and CSI investigated the scene and ran blood test.
