Summary:
ZIP code 89135, on the west side of Las Vegas, contains just one high school in this data set: West Career & Technical Academy High School, a grades 9–12 campus with 1,482 students in the Clark County district. Because there is only one school here, there are no local peers to compare it against — the most useful benchmarks are the district, the state, and the school's own prior-year results.
West CTA stands out well beyond its neighborhood. It ranked 2nd of 105 Nevada high schools in 2025–2026 and 2nd of 103 in 2024–2025, placing in the 98th percentile with 5 stars in both years; in 2023–2024 it was 5th of 97, also with 5 stars. That is well above its own district, which ranks 5th of 12 districts at the 58th percentile with 4 stars. Test scores show the same pattern: in 2025–2026, 92.0% of students were proficient in English ACT versus about 51% at district and state levels, 62.8% in math ACT versus roughly 22%, and 62.9% on Science EOC versus about 27%. Chronic absenteeism was only 9.6%, compared with 27.0% in the district and 25.5% statewide.
A few details are worth watching. Math ACT proficiency dipped from 66.6% to 62.8% and English from 93.6% to 92.0% year over year, while Science EOC improved from 57.8% to 62.9%. The most recent school graduation rate shown is 93.5% for 2023–2024; 2024–2025 is reported only at district (86.6%) and state (85.4%) levels. The school also reports a 100% free/reduced lunch rate for 2024–2025, $12,086 in per-student spending for 2023–2024, and a 23.5 student-teacher ratio, with no local comparison provided for these. Overall, families in 89135 have one high school option, and it is a top-tier Nevada performer.
