The Davidson Academy

• Public School
• Reno, NV
• 6-12
• 55

Alum: The school could definitely stand to be more diverse in a lot of ways; for example, it could improve its ethnic diversity and admit more students from low-income backgrounds. It's also quite small, and this can feel very insular at times. However, the teachers are some of the most caring human beings I have ever met, and the school continues to feel like a home even after you graduate. I think anyone who goes here will receive an excellent education that will take them far in life, but they would also do well to remember that there's a far bigger world out there beyond its walls (and to interact with it more). Oh, and many of the students here are middle schoolers or early high schoolers--sometimes it can feel like older students are glossed over a little bit when it comes to creating special events or opportunities for them. Overall, though, this school is excellent, and I think all of these problems are definitely solvable.

Parent: My daughters enrolled at TMS and have thrived! The students have surprised me by being welcoming and engaging. Although my children have had some difficulties academically, due to lack of prior exposure, the faculty have helped them and they are thriving. There is no better school in Las Vegas! I would send my children to no other campus in LV.

Senior: As a senior at Sage Ridge I feel extremely prepared for college next year. It is a very small school and I feel very close to everyone that attend Sage ridge (including the middle school). I am proud of the fact that I have a very close relationship with my professors and that I can go to them with anything. My teachers are more than willing to meet with me and that has helped me immensely through out my four years. The one thing I wish we could change is our school spirit and I wish that over the years everyone shows up to our Basketball games.

Freshman: The students at this school all share some sort of interconnectivity. There are no cases of bullying that I have seen, and all students treat each other equally and with kindness! As for the learning environment at A-TECH, the classes provide a challenging yet engaging course. The teachers are very helpful and supportive towards students, and all of the teachers are extremely fit to be teaching. I have had no problems with receiving a good education here at A-TECH. The clubs and activities at A-TECH are one of the main attributes A-TECH is known for. With around 60 clubs and activities, there is a place for every student to fit in. Many of the clubs started at A-TECH have been started by students with their own personal interests, so they really do provide a place for any student to fit into, and the diversity of clubs at this school is unlike any other high school.

Senior: West CTA is ranked #2 in the Clark County School District. The campus is by far the cleanest and largest amongst the public high schools in the valley. The student body is diverse and driven to live up to the rigor and stimulation the school has to offer. The students who make the body are some of the brightest minds in the city, even easily surpassing some of the teachers. With integrative programs of 8 different concentrations (Biomedical Sciences, Nursing, Engineering, Biotechnology, Digital Media, Sports Medicine, IT Management, and Business) students take part in hands-on curriculum everyday. The school is very project-driven and cultivate workplace readiness skills daily.

Senior: I loved the teachers and how nice they were! The education program is fantastic and the I learned so much. Before Bishop Manogue, I went to a public school. I can honestly say that I am comfortable in this school and that I more than I did in a public. They offer opportunities and activities that no other school does with their students. I would recommend this school! Better yet, this school provides a college counselor to help get students ready for college and for choosing the right school to apply to. They help with student resumes and scholarships!

Sophomore: I applied to the Academy of Art Careers and Technology because of their Career and Technical Education Programs. I am currently a sophomore studying video production and it is a really fun class and I am able to participate in competitions for it that can qualify me for a national competition. The environment here is great. There is no bullying and because we're such a small school, everyone's like one big family and I know almost everyone here. One of my favorite things about my school is the teacher-student connections. There aren't many students here so teachers are able to be more one on one with students and you can build strong relationships with them.

Alum: One of the best in the district with a helpful staff, good funding and care for students! I always felt like I had a good amount of activitiest to choose from and a lot of resources to access if I needed them. They have trouble listening to feedback from students, especially regarding their insane school year schedule that takes a toll on both teachers and students. However, my experience there was overall positive and look back on it fondly!

Bishop Gorman High School

• Private School
• Las Vegas, NV
• 9-12
• 296

Alum: Bishop Gorman is excellent at academically (and athletically) preparing its students to enter college. The campus is stunningly beautiful and provides students with a plethora of resources. From their high-end athletic facilities to their spacious classrooms, Bishop Gorman exceeds the standards of an average high school. Security is top-notch as well. During my time at Gorman, I never felt unsafe. The administration, faculty, and staff work hard to ensure students' safety.

However, all of these amazing qualities come at a price. The tuition rate, for starters, is currently set at $13,700 for the 2018-2019. At nearly 14K, the exorbitant tuition rate naturally excludes populations unable to afford this sum. This, in turn, affected the diversity of the school.

Students are surrounded by so much creativity and have access to hundreds of job, performance, and discovery opportunities. I could not have imagined spending the most important years of my education anywhere else! LVA is the way to go. Being in the heart of Las Vegas deepens the experience for students. They get to see their talents be applied to the real world. The teachers are so supportive and outgoing and the staff is always doing their best. PARENTS! There are also so many opportunities for parents to help out with school events.

Green Valley High School

Senior: The theatre, choir, and other performing arts departments are amazing. Most AP classes are offered, and the teachers for said AP classes (especially the Social Studies!) are very good. One problem I find is that our science department, while strong, isn't extraordinarily well-suited in preparing kids for the AP exams. Our college counselor, Ms. Abernathy, is wonderful. Facilities are often moderately clean and student resources (library, etc.) are abundant. Faculty is friendly. We also offer IB. The students are very proud of their school and dressing up for assemblies/spirit days is common and somewhat expected. The school is also very large (3000-4500 students), so if you want small class sizes, look elsewhere.

You can walk in it and vrab what you need whenever you have time.

The Adelson Educational Campus

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.

I highly recommend this high school to any interested juniors or seniors here in Henderson, NV.

This program was so helpful in helping me get free college credits and helping me have an easy transition from highschool to college. I love it, but the only thing I would change is the teachers attitudes towards the students. Not all just like one or two that do things they shouldn't. For example, I have a teacher that embarrasses students in front of their classmates! Other than that this high school is incredible!

It is often hard to make friends in a new school, especially as a junior when there are only two years left until my class is whisked away to college. However, I am very thankful and proud to say that Faith Lutheran has been the most welcoming of all eight school I have ever attended. I am very fortunate to be able to attend school here.

Washoe County actually pays for all of my classes unless I fail. That hasn't happened. Also, I am responsible for paying for my books. The school is tailored to each individual by the individual. Some thing I really want to see change in the program is a higher exposure of the school to the public. It isn't extremely difficult to get in. I love this school and I want more of my peers to have the same chance as well as the coming high schoolers get ahead in their degree's for very little cost nd an amazing experience!

Incline High School

Senior: Incline High School is a small school in the mountains that has a culture of its own. This school is highly academic based while pretty social based as well. The academics here are incredible compared to other schools in the area. The teachers are always willing to help and readily maintain a positive attitude throughout the year. If I need help with any of my classes, I am never afraid to come after school or during lunch for help. In terms of the social aspect, there are many cliques and as a new student, it is difficult to make friends and find a good group of people to hang out with. Sure they are nice and inviting at first, but the girls here can be harsh. With so little students in each grade (around 70), drama and judgment is, unfortunately, prevalent. Overall though, I would rate this school above all of the others in the area.

There are eight classes here, two of them being your program area. The teachers and faculty really care about the students, compared to many other high schools. The school has 1,800 students and everyone cares about one another. There has only been one fight in the ten years this school has been opened, which shows how safe it is. This is not only my school, but another home.

Ed W. Clark High School

Junior: For my specific situation, Clark is a stellar option. The academics are varied and the school provides an overall high quality education. I do not face Clark's most noticeable problems, but the general student body does. There is blatant favoritism to members of magnet programs, particularly AMSAT. This can be seen through the accessibility of electives, as well as students' treatment by teachers. On a related note, contrary to many teachers' prestige, there are certainly issues. Many teachers are seen through emerald goggles, merely because of their titles as AP teachers, not their actual teaching style. Clark would have high test scores no matter what, because the students were motivated to start with. Either way, Clark provides a competitive environment with countless opportunities for driven students.
