2019 Best Private K-12 Schools in NevadaAbout this List

The Meadows School

• Private School
• Las Vegas, NV
• PK, K-12
• 38

Senior: Were it not for the character limit on this review, I could discuss the numerous appealing aspects of The Meadows School as well. However, I feel I must address the student culture at this school.

Simply put, TMS is a stressful community. There is a large pressure placed upon the students to achieve anything and everything; it is far too easy to become affected by this attitude. There are of course cliquey students (every high school is bound to have them), but the stress and environment of the school is definitely not for everyone. That is not to say that the school will drag every student into despair; in fact, many students thrive. However, I must also point out that not everyone will find their experience here as fulfilling as another student.

Academically, TMS is an excellent school with amazing teachers, and I enjoyed my time here. However, I want to warn prospective students and teachers that there is a strong culture of stress and achievement, and I believe it will remain.

The Adelson Educational Campus

• Private School
• Las Vegas, NV
• PK, K-12
• 23

Parent: I'm a parent who values academics (more than just college prep), teaching of values and the sense of community. When I drop my children off, I feel like I'm leaving them with family. With all the recent CCSD budget cuts, charter and magnet schools no longer look attractive (programs being cut). Another huge factor is the school drug tests 4-5 times a year (random) both high school students and teachers. I love this! With all the drug problems in other private schools, this helps me keep my children responsible and aware of the dangers of drug use. Wish more schools were like this. We are not Jewish and love the values being taught, was impressed with how so many non Jewish families feel the same way I do.

Calvary Chapel Christian School

• Private School
• Las Vegas, NV
• K-12
• 28

Senior: My experiences at Calvary Chapel Christian School have been very good. The education is great, especially in Mr. Brock's British Literature class. The staff is kind, caring, and willing to help. The sports are growing larger, and the Varsity and Junior Varsity Volleyball teams are incredible and very competitive. Students bring their own food, but Domino's pizza is served everyday for $1.50 a slice by the school's Kai Alpha club. On Wednesday, Panda Express bowls are served for $6.00; on Friday, Firehouse Subs is served for $5.00 a sandwich. The school is not the largest, but still has a good amount of people. One thing I would like to see change is the amount of christian character the students exhibit. There are some at the school who serve the Lord, but there are also many who do not exhibit christian character. Bullying is not a large issue at this school; if your child is being bullied, the staff is more than willing to help your child and correct the situation.

Lake Mead Christian Academy

• Private School
• Henderson, NV
• PK, K-12
• 86

Alum: I attended LMCA from 7th grade all the way until graduation. It is a very tight nit community yet this community is also very accepting and inviting of newcomers. I can't think of a single teacher at the school that does not genuinely care immensely about the lives and success of the students. Some of the current administration is lacking in terms of doing things in the best interest of the students and their academic experience. The school spirit at times is not great but there is a variety of sports for whatever suits your interest. They also added somewhere around 12-13 clubs during my Senior year which opens up more opportunities for students to get involved. As far as diversity goes there is mediocre racial diversity as well as mediocre economic diversity. Once again, although there is not a great amount of diversity, the students that are in the minority are still accepted very quickly and there is little to no exclusion of students between friend groups.

American Heritage Academy

Parent: This school is absolutely amazing! Ever since I brought my daughter to this school 4 years ago, I was amazed at a warm atmosphere and superior education they provide. My daughter has excelled at every subject and has had straight A's the whole time. Teachers are very attentive and school has many educational activities. I would never consider switching schools and 100% sure that I will be bringing my younger kids to this school when it is their turn. This is is not just a school, it is like a family.

Word of Life Christian Academy

• Private School
• Las Vegas, NV
• PK, K-12
• 5

Alum: My time here at Word Of Life Christian Academy was endearing. I was a student my senior year of high school and had never attended a private school. The culture is different from public schools. Academically, this was the best option for me. I excelled here at Word of Life. The teachers are more personal and one-on-one with the students. The principal is the best! she works with all grades and loves each and every one of her students. I would love to see this school grow in the sports department and also in the arts department.

Excel Christian School

• Private School
• Sparks, NV
• PK, K-12
• 4

Junior: I love going to Excel. I love the teachers, the small class sizes, the ability to play sports, and the overall culture at Excel. I also love being able to have a Christian Studies class, where we are able to talk about our faith in a safe setting with our grade level and teachers that really care and know us. They know our stories, and they want to help us write our futures. We do need to have some more challenging classes. We do not have AP, and it’s hard to move up a class when there is only one time that they are holding that class and it interferes with another credit you need.
