NSHS is a great school that prepares students for college. There are multiple schools where you can take classes with a variety of styles in which the classes are taught. It has a very diverse selection when it comes to taking classes. They have very few clubs and no sports programs.

Nevada State High School has offered a lot of opportunities to young students such as myself. Being able to have my first two years of college complete and free as long as I do well, has been very helpful. The staff are amazing and very helpful teachers.

For the most part, NSHS has been a great experience so far as I'm about to finish my junior year. NSHS and their staff has supported me in many different ways.
