Summary:
Zip code 89032 contains three high schools: two large traditional campuses in the Clark County district serving grades 9–12, and one charter school in the State Sponsored Charter Schools district serving grades 6–12, together enrolling about 5,023 students. Canyon Springs High School is by far the largest with 2,812 students (roughly 56% of the total), followed by Cheyenne High School at 1,855 and Explore Academy at 356. The two traditional schools report 100% free or reduced lunch, while Explore Academy reports about 70%, and per-student spending ranges from $9,212 at Explore to $11,980 at Canyon Springs.
Explore Academy stands out as the outlier: it is the smallest school and has the highest ACT English score among the three in 2025–2026 at 42.8%, but also the highest student-teacher ratio at 64.7, versus 23.0 at Canyon Springs and 21.5 at Cheyenne. Its SBAC Math, Reading and Science results, however, fall below both its district and the state. Canyon Springs posts the highest graduation rate at 94.6% and the highest per-student spending, yet its test scores are low and it ranks near the bottom of Nevada high schools with 0 stars. Cheyenne shows the clearest improvement, rising from 0 to 1 star and lifting EOC Science proficiency from 7.3% to 22.8%, though ACT English remains low at 17.5%.
A shared challenge across all three schools is chronic absenteeism, which runs about 40–49% — far above the state average of 25.5%. Canyon Springs is highest at 48.9%, with Cheyenne at 40.3% and Explore Academy at 40.9%. Most available proficiency rates sit below district and state benchmarks, and many test scores are suppressed by the state, so those values should be treated as unknown rather than as evidence of poor performance. Explore Academy also has no reported graduation rate, which limits direct outcome comparisons.
