Summary:
ZIP code 89169 contains exactly one high school: Valley High School, a grades 9–12 campus at 2839 S Burnham Ave in Las Vegas with a reported enrollment of 2,467 students. It is part of the Clark County school district. Because this is the only high school in the ZIP code, there are no local peers to compare it against; the meaningful comparisons are with its district and the state, and across school years.
Valley High's standout strengths and challenges sit side by side. Its 2024–2025 graduation rate of 93.0% is above both the district (86.6%) and the state (85.4%). At the same time, chronic absenteeism in 2025–2026 is 42.2%, far above the district's 27.0% and the state's 25.5% — about 1.56 times the district rate and 1.66 times the state rate. The school reports a 100% free/reduced lunch rate, a 20.2 student-teacher ratio, and $11,893 in per-student spending. Every reported test score falls below district and state levels, including 2025–2026 ACT Math at 8.6% (about 22% for district and state), ACT English at 35.3% (about 51%), and Science EOC at 13.5% (about 27%).
There are signs of movement. Statewide, the school rose from the 2nd percentile in 2023–2024 to the 15th percentile in 2025–2026, and from 0 stars to 1 star, though it still ranks in the bottom 15% of ranked Nevada high schools (89 of 105). ACT English proficiency nearly doubled year over year, from 18.7% to 35.3%, while ACT Math rose from 5.4% to 8.6%. The Clark County district as a whole sits at the 58th percentile with 4 stars. Families should also know that the state suppressed the 9th- and 10th-grade Science EOC school values for 2025–2026, so those figures are unknown rather than zero.
