Summary

Southeast Career Technical Academy High School is a grades 9–12 career and technical high school in Las Vegas, Nevada, serving 1,999 students as part of the Clark County district. In 2025–2026 it ranked 16th of 105 Nevada high schools — the top 15% of the state — up from 27th of 97 in 2023–2024, and it has been a 4-star school in most recent years. The district itself ranks 5th of 12 in Nevada, so this school's standing is notably stronger than its district's.

Achievement is where the school stands out. In 2025–2026, 81.4% of 11th graders met the ACT English benchmark, compared with 51.2% in the district and 50.8% statewide; ACT Math was 37.4% and the End of Course Science exam 44.8%, well above district and state figures near 22% and 27%. Chronic absenteeism was 13.1%, roughly half the district (27.0%) and state (25.5%) rates. Among nearby schools, East Career and Technical Academy High School (19.4% absenteeism; ACT English 59.0%), Green Valley High School (28.7%; 68.3%), and Del Sol Academy of Performing Arts High School (38.5%; 46.6%) trail it on these measures, and Chaparral High School is further behind.

The school serves a high-need population, with reported free/reduced lunch participation at 100% in 2024–2025 and 2023–2024, yet it ranks 8th of 64 statewide for low-income students and earns 4 stars for Hispanic, male, female, White, Asian, and multi-racial students. Per-student spending was $11,872 in 2023–2024, and the student-teacher ratio was 20.6 in 2024–2025 — favorable compared with several neighboring high schools. Keep in mind that state-suppressed 9th- and 10th-grade science scores cannot be evaluated, and some subgroup results come from older years.

Finally becoming a senior, I've seen that quality has drastically decreased. It used to be a good school with great administration, freedom for students, and amazing teachers. Though as years came by, the school became overcrowded with students, few classes did not have enough desks this senior year, and they have began to drop some majors, Welding was dropped 2011, and from the extent of my knowledge Web Design and Development and Video Productions was dropped. They didn't even bother to make an attempt to salvage these majors, or at least find substitutes that can teach the classes effectively. If you're planning to have open periods senior year, you will be forced to hold a job or have some training and receive credit, while the program is really good, I feel it shouldn't be forced upon students. The only thing I've seen improve is the food, everything is fresh in both the student store and actual lunch lines. Privacy is not a thing here in SECTA, if you have you're phone taken away, they will ask for you're password and inspect every spec of your phone, they will report you on anything they don't like. The school also does not promote open speaking, if you talk openly about how the school sucks they'll rather hopefully ignore it or send you to the office. Good teachers have become scarce, every teacher does want to make everyone succeed, though most aren't effective. It is important that you will only receive an ACTUAL DEGREE if you're in cosmetology, other majors are passed off as experience, If you're student requires special education or has a disability, chances are they'll be cleaning all day. Talk about outrageous rules is very common, and transportation to school is outrages, I've had to wait at my stop for more than 30 minutes before, several times. While this school has good intentions, they have poor methods of execution. This school highly suffers from Censorship, Invasion of Privacy, overcrowding, poorly trained teachers, and unreasonable rules. You are better heading to any other tech school like A-Tech or SWCTA because I feel like my high school years here were wasted because the only good things your child is getting is friendly teachers(bad at teaching), school lunch, and friendly students, nothing else. Students only have good grades because of their already placed problem solving skills, hence why the school is rated highly. Close Quote
