Old Navy is implementing a "price" freeze on back to school clothes for kids that Moms and Dads should be excited about. This "price" freeze will run through the end of September and with school starting in just a couple of weeks, you might want to take advantage of it now!

The Mike & Carla Morning Show also talked about a job opening for anyone 5 years of age and older to be a "candy" taster! The job is being offered by a Canadian company and you can actually make up to six figures eating candy all day...

And of course the big news, there was one single winner for Mega Millions! The identity of the winner has yet to be revealed, and probably for good reason, but the winning ticket was bought in the state on Illinois. Keep in mind that the place that sold the winning ticket gets a nice little cash bonus as well!

All that and much more in this edition of "A Few Things We Think You Should Know"...enjoy!

The Best Las Vegas High Schools Ranked 2022

One of the most important takeaways from education is that it helps individuals develop critical thinking skills. Personal growth comes from learning which intake helps with gaining more confidence, financial wealth and literary skills.

Nevada is an ever-growing city with a population of just over three million. More people are moving to Las Vegas to give their families a better life. With the American dream in mind, where does education fit into the equation? Education is important to families who want to offer the best for their children and generations to come.

EdWeek.org conducted a comprehensive analysis to find out where states rank in educational opportunities and performance. Their data was configured over three categories which included Chance for Success (January), School Finance (June) and K-12 Achievement (September). The overall grade is the average of the three separate scores.

Nevada finished 50 amongst all 50 states and the District of Columbia. The state scoring earned 68.6 out of 100 possible points. That is the equivalent of a D plus grade average. The country ranked at a C grade average. Find out more about their education research within each category.

Let's be honest, Nevada does not have a great education system ranking but that does not mean that all Vegas schools are bad. Vegas has the 5 largest school district in the United States with the Los Angeles Unified School District taking first place.

GreatSchools.org is a leading non-profit when it comes to research insights and parenting resources. The non-profit gives an insight on "school quality" based on a rating from one to 10. Top-rated schools are considered 10's. Ratings between one to four are looked at as below average. Ratings between five to six indicate average. Ratings seven to 10 are considered above average.
