Summary:
Zip code 89123 in Las Vegas, Nevada contains two high schools — Silverado High School, a traditional Clark County campus serving grades 9–12 with 1,914 students, and Nevada Virtual Charter School, a state-sponsored charter serving grades 6–12 with 1,625 students — and because Nevada Virtual includes middle school grades and several of its test values are marked "—" (suppressed by the state for privacy, so unknown), the two are not perfect peers.
Silverado High School leads on completion and math. Its 2024–2025 graduation rate was 93.0%, above Clark County's 86.6% and Nevada's 85.4%. Its school rank improved from 70th of 97 (28th percentile) in 2023–2024 to 64th of 105 (39th percentile) in 2025–2026, and its ACT English rose from 36.9% to 47.5%. Its ACT Math was 20.2%, well above Nevada Virtual's 9.1%. The concerns are real: chronic absenteeism of 33.8% in 2025–2026 versus the district's 27.0% and the state's 25.5%, a reported 100% free/reduced lunch rate, a 2-star school rating, and most comparable high school test scores below district and state averages.
Nevada Virtual Charter School benefits from a highly rated district — State Sponsored Charter Schools ranks 2nd of 12 with 5 stars and the 83rd percentile — and its 88.0% graduation rate exceeded its district's 82.6% and the state's 85.4%. Its ACT English was 50.0%, slightly ahead of Silverado's 47.5%. Math is the clearest red flag: ACT Math 9.1%, all-grade SBAC math 10.6%, and 8th-grade SBAC math 5.8%, all far below district and state. Its rank has slipped from 61st of 97 (37th percentile) to 74th of 105 (30th percentile). Its 2025–2026 chronic absenteeism is not shown; the only school-level figure is 7.4% in 2023–2024. It spends less per student ($7,900 versus $11,181) and has a higher student-teacher ratio (26.6 versus 22.5).
