Parent: The Meadows School is exceptional. I remember the first time I toured the campus I was overwhelmed with the thought, “This is how education should be. Why can’t all schools be like this?” The faculty holds high expectations while providing rigorous and engaging lessons that hone critical thinking skills and fosters productive citizenship. The school offers students an array of academic and extracurricular opportunities and the school community is the best I have witnessed. The school prides itself on teaching students service to one’s community, character, and scholarship. And, the Meadows values students from all economic backgrounds with 20% of students receiving financial aid scholarships. My family and I are thankful for The Meadows School. Tour the school for yourself.... Read 71 reviews

Senior: I am extremely grateful for A-Tech. It has provided me with several opportunities to explore my fields of interest in engineering and architecture and it has helped me decide what I want to study in college. All the teachers are very nice and would help you out with anything that you need. Each of my teachers is extremely passionate about the subject that they teach and almost every teacher has a club or extracurricular that they run that they love. The only problem I have is with the school spirit and sports events, but as it is a magnet/career technical school, there are no sports or sporting events(except for the homecoming flag football game). The dances are not very exciting and the spirit weeks are lacking. The class size is very small, so by the end of your second or third year, it is difficult not to know almost everyone in the class and make lots of friends. Overall, A-Tech is amazing because of its helpfulness in preparation for the future and its awesome teachers.... Read 477 reviews

Senior: Coral academy of science Las Vegas is the best charter school I have ever seen and experienced. Coral academy prayers students for higher and challenging corses. It gets its students ready and prepared for college. If you would rate this school it will be 9.5 out of 10. There is nothing about the Academic stuff that I would like to change. The school is doing fantastic in the academic. However, I would like them on PE class not to take the students out of campus to go and do their activities at the park across the street. I feel that it’s not safe for students. Second thing is that as you all know the school shoring rate across the United States of America is so haigh. Coral academy fence around the school is law. I would like them to raise it a little bet. That’s all! Thank you.... Read 85 reviews

Junior: The teachers are very supportive. Everyone is ver connected with each other and it truly gives you the chance to live your college and high school experience. There are different majors, currently in the nursing program. I get my CNA when I graduate and about 16 college credits. Every program has something different. There is business, cyber security, sports medicine, nursing, engineering, digital media, and greenhouse. All great programs with great benefits!... Read 519 reviews

Junior: I'm a student at the Adelson Educational Campus high school. First and foremost, Adelson offers a wide variety of College Prep, Honors, and AP classes, all of which are supported by amazing teachers with high levels of education and experience within their respective fields. The small class sizes (under 25 kids per classroom) allow for one-on-one connection with the teacher and ensure that every student understands the material. On top of academics, Adelson offers several extracurricular opportunities like after-school sports, academic clubs, and international exchange programs. This year, Adelson is balancing new Covid-19 protocol with its regular academics. This protocol includes a mask-wearing policy, increased sanitation, hand sanitizer and sanitizing wipes in every classroom, increased ventilation, one-way staircases/hallways, and socially-distanced desks. Teachers are able to flawlessly switch to Zoom on a moment's notice, and staff always ensures that all students feel safe.... Read 31 reviews

Senior: The school is excellent regarding athletics, extracurriculars, and a great course selection. The teachers are there to help you whenever they are available. The school has obtained national and state championships in several different sports. The extracurriculars have a great range of various clubs people can join, such as honor societies. They include the National Honor Society, Science National Honor Society, Mu Alpha Theta Honor Society (Math Honor Society), and much more! The school has a great selection of AP courses students desire to take; there are over twenty AP courses students can take. It's a great school, and I recommend it to those who plan to attend it in the future!... Read 383 reviews

Senior: This school is a very good option for High school Juniors and Seniors. It offers the opportunity for students to get 48 free college credits done. This is not jump start classes or an A.P. honor roll thing. You are quite literally in college classes at the College of Southern Nevada. You do have to take one - two high school classes a semester, but they are very manageable. The community in the high school is excellent due to the extremely small class size. Would recommend this school to pretty much anyone who plans to attend college for any amount of time.... Read 164 reviews

Senior: I really enjoyed my time at Las Vegas Academy of the Arts! If I could give half-star ratings, I would give it a 4.5, because though the school is great there are still some drawbacks. The environment is very positive and diversity, but the students can be kind of cliquey between majors. The teachers truly care, and they are always available to help students out. The campus is nice in some places, like the newly renovated Performing Arts Center, but other buildings are very old, and it takes forever for things to get fixed. In the Main Building, the upstairs girls bathroom had a broken sink for over 3 months, and the AC and heating systems in the Vocational Hall break annually. However, there are plans to build a new campus in the near future, so these issues should be resolved.... Read 920 reviews

Junior: Great school! Students are given a lot of freedom, but teachers are still on top of them. The community here is great. There are several activities throughout the year that allow students to have a high school experience although they attend a non-traditional school. For example, there are little gatherings/events every month that student council organizes. The teachers are very kind and understanding. Most try not to drown students in work as they understand that they are taking college courses as well. The staff and admin are also very considerate and do their best to help students in whatever way they can. If you are looking for a challenge and school with a diverse population and a close-knit community, CSN-West is a great choice!... Read 295 reviews

Alum: I enjoyed my whole high school experience here at Faith Lutheran. From the very first year I instantly felt prepared, loved, and welcomed at this school. The teachers truly care for your academic success and even your well-being. They want you to succeed and will help you in any way they can. The faculty has made students their priority. They are constantly making the school environment welcoming and faith-based where students can thrive and grow together. Counselors have made students start their college steps from the first year and has made the college process so much smoother (especially in senior year!). I highly recommend this school to anyone who wants to get more out of their education!... Read 232 reviews

Alum: I have been going to Lake Mead christian Academy since the first grade and i think that the school is in all ways better than the public school experience, i have tried public school when i moved to California and the difference in how teachers teach, their understanding and how much they truly care for you is insurmountable. At Lake Mead the staff just love what they do and you can just feel that atmosphere of just joy, but overall i think that although the school does cost quite a bit if you can afford the tuition that money will not go to waste, and even if you can't that have stuff like payment plans and scholarships you can get to reduce the cost of going there....

Junior: Coronado High School, a beautifully blended school, full of opportunities and hope has been the school I've represented for nearly three year. Although, Coronado itself has struggled with going above and beyond in a few aspects, the staff have continuously put in the effort to give students the finest resources available and provide them with the ceaseless support, whether it be for the present or future. Despite my never ending love for the school and my peers, I have hoped for an increase in the safety of said school. It is understandable that, while being a high school, fights are bound to happen; but I have steadily hoped that the staff would be more attentive to the violence that occurs. It is clear that administrators attempt to keep the school a safe space for students, they could be a bit more observant towards the signs that point to fights. Overall, Coronado is a wonderful school, but, like the rest of us, it has flaws that I hope they are able to overcome soon.... Read 740 reviews

Parent: This is my first time to study abroad alone. However, this school is amazing. I'm study with Daishen Nix, who is a five-star recruit and has committed to play college basketball for UCLA. My first inspiration about Trinity International School is so small, but that's why it makes me feel like I'm in my home now. Friends at school have helped me a lot with my school work because my English is not really good. The teachers take care of us perfectly. It's really hard to describe how good my school is. It's just perfect for me... Read 4 reviews

Senior: I believe that Doral Academy Red Rock is a great school. Its atmosphere, community, and opportunity to build one-to-one relationships with teachers and staff creates an overall safe and encouraging space to grow and flourish as students. I have had a fair share of good and bad experiences with former staff and teachers, but I have generally built good relationships with my peers and teachers/mentors that have helped me rise to success academically and in my extracurriculars. However a thing I would like to see changed, or yet better prioritized, is the funding and emphasis in our Fine Arts Programs. From the very opening of this campus we have had the title of being an ‘Arts-Integrated School’ associated with our name. However, it is noticeable that in recent years our fine arts departments have not been sustainably funded as compared to our sports programs. That is one thing I would like to see changed, to bring back what makes our school shine amongst others.... Read 16 reviews

Senior: I think that overall Amplus Academy is a good school. The facilities are nice and so are the students. However, some of the teachers are not very good at teaching and some dismiss their students' opinions. The clubs are not very well funded and there are not that many clubs. However, I find that the education and atmosphere of the school are pleasing, and although there are many things that the administrators need to fix my overall experience was very good....

Senior: VTCTA is a great magnet high school for students perusing a career in cyber security, law enforcement, forensics, ems, 9-1-1 Dispatch, or criminal justice. The passion that the program teachers have opens windows of opportunity for students that are excited to become part of that field. The internships are great for VT students to engage with the community and start having the hands on experience to what can become a prospective career. The rigorous academic plan that teachers have for the students is with the primary purpose of preparing them for college. In addition to internships the school offers a mentor program. This mentor can be precisely from the student’s intended career or similar which well help the student through the year and create a strong bond. Although the school doesn’t have sports and students must play for their zone school. I recently graduated I can honestly say that VTCTA is a great and safe school for students who thing ahead for their future!... Read 323 reviews

Senior: Clark High School has provided me with countless opportunities to grow as a student and as a person outside of school. Through the multiple clubs and organizations provided at Clark, I have been able to foster friendships and a community that have similar interest. I am currently Co-President of Spanish Club, manager of the Tennis team, and an regional and international winner of my school's HOSA. In terms of academics, the AMSAT program has allowed me to challenge my abilities as a student, especially as someone who is interested in the medical field.

This school will stay in a special place in my heart truly. I have made great friends who have the same ambitious desires as mine, and who I will know will still remain as good friends in the future. Alongside, I have met such wonderful teachers and staff who I will surely share my achievements in life, as they have served a great influence. The only thing that I would like to request is to have the school have better communication with each other.... Read 151 reviews

Junior: Nevada State High School is super supportive and provides an opportunity to gain college credits while being a high schooler. Because it’s a dual credit school, the classes students primarily take are at local community colleges like College of Southern Nevada or online at Great Basin College. So Nevada State is mainly a guide for students taking college courses. However, they do have classes called Transitions and Study Skills, which teach practical information such as interview help or scholarship information. The staff at Nevada State Summerlin is also amazing. Ms. McCormick and Ms. Smith always reach out to ensure students are on track to succeed. Even through COVID, they always communicate at least through 3 resources: message, email, or phone. Information about the school is laid out through the student handbook. They also use a program called Moodle, which is a forum board for upcoming events and has all the class curriculum. Overall great school, very supportive and clear!... Read 19 reviews

Senior: During my time attending SECTA, showed me the positives and negatives of every school since even a good school can't have everything. When I first arrived, my only thought was, "This school is going to be the best and so am I." I have no doubt their academics can push you with a variety of classes preparing you for college. However, students' life lacks. This deals with how I can be more involved in school, how the administration handles problems, having enjoyable spirit weeks, and many more. What I do know absolutely know is that this school has many wonderful people, like my friends that I made during my first year. We are still connected, so I cherish the chance of being accepted to SECTA. Not only will this school brighten my future, but also build me, long-lasting companions.

It’s an affordable option if you want your child in a Christ centered environment where the teachers and faculty love your child and prays for them!

Senior: Southwest Career & Technical Academy was a great school! I went to this school for all four years for high school and absolutely enjoyed it. There is a lot of diversity here and that is my favorite thing because I am able to connect with my fellow classmates and peers. Furthermore, this school offer a lot of professional courses such as Culinary, Nursing, Respiratory, and Automotive! There are also design programs including Fashion Design, Web Design, Interior Design, and Graphic Design! I love that Southwest Career & Technical Academy offers all these unique programs because it allows students like me to explore different options! The only downside to this school is that there are a lack of sports outside of P.E. And clubs. I would love to see that change in the future because that would be something else students can explore. This school also doesn’t offer music because it is more focused on professional courses. I would love to see music as a new program in the future!... Read 846 reviews
