Senior: Applying to this high school was one of the best decisions I have made! Throughout my four years, I have had some of the best times being with friends at Homecomings, Proms, Clubs, and other social events! The fields of studies are numerous and range from Business and Legal Studies down to Architecture. The teachers are also extremely qualified in their education roles, and many have even won national awards for their excellence. I will miss the people I met at this school, they really gave me a community to lean on!... Read 470 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 505 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 908 reviews

Alum: College of Southern Nevada High School provided me with opportunities that most junior and senior students never get! This program allowed me to become familiar with the college environment from the age of 17. I obtained my Associate of Science degree two weeks before graduating high school because of this program and it allowed me to enter college as a junior instead of a freshman. I matured much faster than the typical high school student because I was constantly surrounded by real college students as well as professors and I will forever be grateful for that experience and opportunity!...

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 284 reviews

What it lacks in regular extracurriculars, it makes up for in academics and other activities that uplift school spirit. The teachers and students are great and the campus is kept incredibly safe.

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 318 reviews

Senior: This school has taught me how to grow tremendously! I not only have learned academically, but a ton-including myself that I did not know I was capable of. 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 146 reviews

Senior: Southeast Career Technical Academy was certainly an experience. Although I am a senior, I can say that majority of everything this school provides is wonderful. From getting students ready and prepared for college to multiple majors, clubs, and events that are offered, this academy truly made me enjoy the four years of going here. Also, for those of you who do not know, our campus just added a bunch of new, beautiful buildings, potentially turning our campus into a giant school. If there was one thing I would suggest for change would be more majors or opportunities for jobs/community service to be available to students. Then again, there are many things you can achieve by going to this high school. It's welcoming and truly an experience I am never going to forget. One more tip before I end this, Make sure your initial major chosen here is the one you genuinely want to use for your future!... Read 894 reviews

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 836 reviews

Middle School Student: Garret Jr. High school is a great jr high school over all. Their lunches are great and different and I feel welcomed to be there. There is some diversity at the school but everyone feels accepted. While there is some bully, it's rare to see it occurring. The staff are friendly and want you to succeed.... Read 4 reviews

Sophomore: Great school. I have been here since 5th grade, and it was great! As someone with autism, ADHD, and Tourette's, the teachers have been great and accommodating. You only go in person for 1 day a week, meaning that if you do not like huge crowds, this is for you! The teachers are pleasant and help everyone, and, as someone with severe depression, the teachers are great at helping me, and other kids. They are always available and listen to all of your questions! This is the only school that I've ever felt welcome and loved and cared about at, and I would gladly come here again!...

Alum: Great experiences! No violence, most students focus on their work which makes for a great environment. The programs are great! The only issue I had with it was that there were no sports at the schools. The only thing they had were dance club or soccer club but those weren't all that great. There werent many clubs either or they were odd. Like anime club, or gaming club(?) (they played video games). Other than that I loved my time there!... Read 679 reviews

At Boulder City High School, everyone is a community and their is a sort of bond that everybody shares with one another.

Parent: The first year my daughter attended this school, her grades went from C's and D's to A's and B's. I saw a difference in her as well as the children she was socializing with. This school doesn't stand for bullying and are constantly striving to be on top. I am pleased and glad I enrolled my daughter in this school. Every year the school improves their clubs and activities, safety, administration, food, facilities, sports and resources. Thank you EKA!... Read 4 reviews

Alum: I went to Explore Knowledge Academy (EKA) from the time I was in first grade until I graduated. I grew with the school as it continued to evolve. EKA is a college prep school and it is best to view it as such to understand its set up. EKA focuses on projects. Meaning every class in almost every quarter, a project is due. This is to help teach kids public speaking, a common fear, deadlines, structural organization, and making tactile objects, amongst many others. The school is much smaller than regular public schools, making it extremely personable and creates strong relationships with teachers and other students. However, sine it is a college prep school, there are few opportunities in sports as academics is the main focus. As someone who values and concentrates my energy on academics, this school was a perfect fit for me.... Read 8 reviews

Senior: What I like about Morris Sunset East High School was that every teacher is committed to his work. Teachers are correct and responsible because they had their agenda to the week and they teach something new each week. What I would like to change is that classes were the double of time to have enough time to do the activities correctly.... Read 1 review
