Summary:
ZIP code 89030 in North Las Vegas, part of Clark County, Nevada, contains just two high schools: College of So NV High School East, serving grades 11–12 with 161 students, and Desert Rose High School, serving grades 9–12 with 137 students, for a combined 298 students. Both share the same district context: Clark County is ranked 5th of 12 Nevada districts, at the 58th percentile with 4 stars — a district rating, not a school rating.
College of So NV High School East stands out for recent ranking, English proficiency, and attendance. It ranked 31st of 105 in 2025–2026, 15th of 103 in 2024–2025, and 18th of 97 in 2023–2024 — the 70th, 85th, and 81st percentiles, with 4 stars each year. English ACT proficiency was 84.8% in 2025–2026 and 87% in 2024–2025, well above district and state figures around 48–51%. Chronic absenteeism is low at 11.9%, compared with 27.0% district and 25.5% state. Two cautions: its student-teacher ratio is high at 32.2, and ACT math proficiency dropped from 38.9% in 2024–2025 to 27.2% in 2025–2026.
Desert Rose High School stands out for a 90.6% graduation rate in 2024–2025, above the district's 86.6% and state's 85.4%, along with 100% free/reduced lunch, $58,793 per-student spending versus $17,498, and a very low student-teacher ratio of 7.2. However, chronic absenteeism is extremely high at 79.3%, nearly three times district and state rates. Its current math, English, and science test results are suppressed by the state, so its proficiency is unknown — not zero. Its rank history is from 2016–2017 through 2018–2019 with 0 stars and should not be read as current performance. The clearest contrast between the two schools is attendance, and the most important caution is that suppressed scores mean unknown, not poor.
