Summary:
Zip code 89113 in Las Vegas is served by four high schools: three in the Clark County district and one in State Sponsored Charter Schools. Sierra Vista High School (3,255 students) and Durango High School (2,322) are large comprehensive schools serving grades 9–12, Southwest Career & Technical Academy High School (1,600) is a career and technical academy for grades 9–12, and Nevada State High School Southwest (145) is a small charter serving only grades 11–12. Together they enroll 7,322 students.
Two schools clearly stand out. Southwest Career & Technical Academy ranks 6th of 105 statewide in 2025–2026 (94th percentile, 5 stars) and has held 5 stars and a top-10 ranking for three years running. Its ACT English proficiency is 86.8%, ACT Math 52.0%, and EOC Science End of Course 53.7%—all far above district and state levels—and its chronic absenteeism is 11.1%, well under the district's 27.0%. Nevada State High School Southwest ranks 22nd of 105 (79th percentile, 4 stars), with the lowest absenteeism in the group at 5.4% and strong ACT results of 76.2% in English and 37.2% in Math. Neither school has graduation-rate data listed here, and Nevada State has no EOC Science value.
Sierra Vista ranks 50th of 105 (3 stars) and Durango 60th of 105 (2 stars). Both post graduation rates above district and state averages—Sierra Vista 93.7% and Durango 91.4% versus the district's 86.6% and the state's 85.4%—yet both have high chronic absenteeism, 37.4% and 44.8% respectively. Durango's ACT proficiency trails district and state in both English and Math. Note that Nevada State spends far less per student ($5,043) and the three Clark County schools report 100% free/reduced lunch, so spending and that metric alone do not explain the differences.
