Summary:

The 89144 zip code area is home to a single high school, Palo Verde High School, which has consistently ranked among the top 31 high schools in Clark County over the past 3 school years, with a ranking as high as 20th in the 2023-2024 school year. The school has maintained a 4-star rating out of 5 from School Digger for the past 2 school years, indicating strong overall performance.

Palo Verde High School significantly outperforms the Clark County and Nevada averages in several key test score metrics, including 71.5% proficiency in 11th grade ACT English, 40.9% proficiency in 11th grade ACT Math, and 31.4% proficiency in the EOC Science Exam, all in the 2024-2025 school year. The school's four-year graduation rate was 81.6% in the 2023-2024 school year, and it spent $8,003 per student in the 2021-2022 school year with a student-teacher ratio of 28.5 in the 2023-2024 school year.

Despite the fact that 100% of Palo Verde High School's students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high-poverty student population, the school's strong academic performance and well-resourced environment suggest that it is effectively serving its community. However, the school's high chronic absenteeism rate of 26.6% in the 2024-2025 school year is an area of concern that may require further investigation and targeted interventions to improve student attendance.
