Best High Schools in Zip Code 89052

ZIP code 89052 in Henderson, Nevada is home to three high schools serving a combined 7,222 students: Liberty High School and Coronado High School, two large Clark County campuses of about 3,200 students each serving grades 9–12, and Coral Academy Sandy Ridge, a smaller State Sponsored Charter Schools campus of 872 students serving grades 8–12.

Academically, the three schools sit far apart. Coral Academy Sandy Ridge is the standout, ranking in the 96th percentile statewide with 5 stars, and posting 70.1% proficiency in ACT math and 89.5% in ACT English — roughly triple the state math rate. Coronado is the strongest of the two large campuses, earning 5 stars and jumping to the 90th percentile, with 52.1% proficient in ACT math, 74% in ACT English, and the highest graduation rate here at 94.1%. Liberty holds 3 stars and the 51st percentile; its ACT math (21.9%) is essentially at the state average (22.6%) and its rank slipped from 60th to 51st. Coronado improved on several measures year over year (ACT math up 9.0 points), while Liberty declined.

Attendance separates them too: chronic absenteeism is 12.3% at Coral, 27.7% at Coronado, and 37.1% at Liberty — well above the state's 25.5%. Coral spends the most per student ($12,709 vs. about $9,600 at the district schools) yet has the highest student-teacher ratio (29.0 vs. about 25). Note that free/reduced-lunch figures aren't comparable (the district schools report 100%, Coral 24.43%), Coral has no reported graduation rate, and some science results are suppressed. In short, families here can choose between two high-performing schools and one performing near the state average within a few miles.
