GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

My experience at Las Vegas High school was very mediocre. I did not have a freshmen year since that's when COVID started. So when I started high-school as a sophomore I felt and saw the effects that COVID had on the Students. Students were less social. Teachers put less efforts to actually teach the class they would just show some video they found on YouTube and sit back as we watched the video and filled out a paper. But there was no actual interaction and hands on learning. Very sad to witness.

My overall experience at Las Vegas High school has been pretty good. The best part of my high school experience at Las Vegas was winning the 2023 4A Girls Basketball State Championship.The worst part would have to be the change in our administration in my time as a student.

Its a pretty good school but the food could be better since a full stomach can help one focus better.
