Junior: Throughout my years as a student I have been to private, public, magnet, and online schools, but none of those experiences compare to the DA online campus. When I first joined Davidson I was worried. I had been to two other schools just the year before (one magnet and one public) and neither had worked. Not to mention my online school experience was very small as I had only taken a few asynchronous online classes before. But at Davidson, the live sessions were stimulating and engaging, the teachers were invested in my learning, the work was actually interesting, and my peers were amazing! I’ve made strong friendships and connections throughout my two years. Davidson has helped be become a successful student too. I’d always had trouble taking notes, planning, and studying but DAO has let me create my own strategies for each! The school is meant for gifted kids and it shows in everything they do. Thanks to Davidson I finally feel at home at school.... Read 72 reviews

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

Parent: We have two children with vastly different personalities, strengths, development needs, and interests. We as parents have witnessed our children's significant growth in just one year here, but it's most heartwarming that our children themselves have recognized how much they're learning, and have actually thanked us for moving them to Sage Ridge! The sense of community that exists at Sage Ridge includes the students who form bonds, as they go through periods of success and conflict together throughout their years at the school. It also importantly includes a talented, thoughtful, engaged, and supportive group of adults - faculty, administration, parents, and the Board, who collectively and collaboratively work together on continuously improving the school. We envision being at Sage Ridge for the next decade, until our youngest heads to college, and look forward to its continued focus on quality education with continued community involvement....

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

Parent: My daughter started kindergarten in the middle of the pandemic and I can’t express how thankful I am that we chose Coral Academy at Eastgate for her education. Despite starting off most of the school year online, she has THRIVED and continues to do so. Her teacher is excellent all around and me and my husband couldn’t be happier.

Sophomore: Hello my name is Daisy, I would like to start off by saying that TMCC is one of the best community colleges in Reno, Nevada. They have amazing staff members and professors that are glad to help you through your transition form high school to college! They have amazing programs that are so much more affordable for your future career. They have an amazing scholarship that you can receive beginning there. I have been going to TMCC for two years and it has really helped me out financially and with great learning opportunities.... Read 193 reviews

Junior: Manogue has been a great school. The education is very rigorous and has helped me prepare for college. I have really enjoyed the faith aspect of the school as well. One thing that Manogue could improve on is the arts and music. They don't have a band and the art is not as elaborate as other schools. On the other hand, we have enough students to compete in sports. It is really fun to watch a football game or even a basketball game. Manogue also has after school clubs; I am a part of the academic team, Bishop Manogue Apologetics, and Miner Ministry. I also run track/cross country for Manogue, and it is really fun to be a part of the team. Our team is smaller than the public schools' teams, but we are a really close-knit team, making it easy to make friends.... Read 142 reviews

Alum: Bishop Gorman, when I attended, 1977-1980 was an Outstanding Private High School. Great Education, Mostly Great Teachers, Great all around programs offered to its students, Sports, Music, Math, Science, Cheer and many more. I only wish as do today, that they would teach the Catholic Faith as Jesus told us, and not what fits their agenda. Want to truly participate in the Most Holy Act or Worship in the Catholic Church, bring back the Latin Mass and teach only what Jesus taught us. Francis is not the Pope!... Read 382 reviews

Alum: A big thing that I liked about Coral Academy of Science was that it was a smaller school overall. So the classroom size was much smaller, allowing the teachers to be more engaged with the students and teach them better. I enjoyed playing on the sports teams all four years of high school. The school makes every students education important and doesn't seem to "forget" about a student or disregard them. They want us all to succeed. On the flip side, I would like a larger campus, the halls get crowded at times. Funding would also be nice to improve the campus facilities and equipment. But the students, teachers, and counselors are all great.... Read 98 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: One of the best schools in Washoe county, AACT is usually rated as the top 1-3 schools in Reno. It is a technical and CTE school which does plenty of college preparation from courses to internships and community service . It has students from all over the county, providing a diverse community who is motivated and looking forward to graduate. The graduation rate since the school has opened is over 98%. The staff and teachers are CTE trained and are leaders of our academies. The academies range from Medical, Education, Agriculture, Culinary, Business and Engineering. The school has an amazing environment! From my experience, it’s been a great decision and I’m proud to have accomplished getting accepted. My teachers and the staff are always friendly, teachers use different methods and learning styles for learning. I have personally excelled at this school, and cannot wait to see a full and successful college application!... Read 281 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

Sophomore: Overall, I have found Reno High to be a fantastic experience! The open campus is quite nice, and there are many activities available to students. It seems to me that there is something for everyone! There are clubs of all different natures, as well as sports and other activities relating to the arts and technology. My academic experience has also been great. The staff truly cares for their students and apart from 1 unhelpful teacher, all of my teachers have helped me to effectively understand the subject matter that I am learning. Most of the student body is friendly, though there are some rude kids (but all schools have them). Personally, I haven't had any problems with my peers and I feel relatively safe at school. Though our facility might not be the prettiest with its yellow-tiled walls, there are decent classrooms and quality sports facilities offered here. In all, I've had no major issues here and am grateful that I go to a school with good academics and spirited students.... Read 294 reviews
