Summary:
ZIP code 89002 in Henderson, Nevada is home to two high schools, both part of the Clark County school district: Foothill High School, a large comprehensive campus serving grades 9–12 with 2,406 students, and College of So NV High School South, a much smaller school serving only grades 11–12 with 157 students, making Foothill roughly 15 times larger.
College of So NV High School South posts the strongest academic results in the area. It has ranked 3rd out of roughly 100 Nevada high schools for three straight years, placing in the 97th percentile with 5 stars. Its 2025–2026 ACT Math proficiency of 64.7% is about 2.9 times the state average of 22.6%, and its ACT English proficiency of 92.9% is about 1.8 times the state's 50.8%. Chronic absenteeism of 18.1% is well below the district's 27.0%. Keep in mind that its small size and grade 11–12 structure suggest a specialized or selective program, so it is not a typical neighborhood school.
Foothill High School remains solidly above average: a 93.0% graduation rate versus the state's 85.4%, ACT English of 61.4%, ACT Math of 30.1%, and EOC Science (End of Course) of 36.1%, all above district and state figures. Its chronic absenteeism of 25.4% is essentially at the state average. However, its state rank slipped from 26th of 97 (73rd percentile, 4 stars) in 2023–2024 to 38th of 105 (64th percentile, 3 stars) in 2025–2026, a downward trend worth watching. Some data is suppressed by the state, including Foothill's 9th- and 10th-grade science scores, and South has no graduation rate or science scores listed; those figures are unknown rather than zero.
