Summary:
Zip code 89005 has just one listed high school: Boulder City High School, a public school serving grades 9–12 with 616 students in the Clark County district. It is located at 1101 Fifth St in Boulder City, so there are no other local high schools to compare it against — the useful comparisons are with district and state averages and with the school's own year-over-year results.
The school is a solid performer. For 2025–2026 it ranked 32nd of 105 Nevada high schools, the 70th percentile with 4 stars, after ranking 28th of 103 (73rd percentile) in 2024–2025 and 28th of 97 (71st percentile) in 2023–2024. Within Clark County it ranks 5th of 12, the 58th percentile, also with 4 stars. Its strongest reported academics are ACT English, where 11th-graders reached 65.6% proficiency in 2025–2026 versus 51.2% district and 50.8% state, and EOC Science End of Course, at 41.1% versus 27.0% district and 26.5% state, up from 36.0% the prior year. Chronic absenteeism is 23.1%, better than the district's 27.0% and the state's 25.5%. The 2024–2025 graduation rate was 85.8%, close to the district's 86.6% and slightly above the state's 85.4%.
Two cautions stand out. ACT Math proficiency fell from 35.1% in 2024–2025 to 30.6% in 2025–2026 — still above the district's 22.3% and state's 22.6%, but by a smaller margin. Also, the 9th- and 10th-grade EOC Science scores are state-suppressed and therefore unknown, so the science picture is incomplete. For context, the school reports 100% free/reduced lunch, $16,426 per-student spending in 2023–2024, and a student-teacher ratio of 18.6.
