Northwest And Southeast Valley Students Could Be Moved

Larry Martino January 17th

High school students in the northwest and southeast portions of the Las Vegas Valley could soon be moving to different schools if boundary changes being discussed by the Clark Count School District are approved.

According to an article written by Joshua Peguero on 8NewsNow.com, the overcrowding in classrooms at schools such as Arbor View High in the northwest part of Las Vegas, and Coronado High in Henderson, has the Attendance Zone Advisory Committee for the Clark County School District proposing boundary changes.

Per Peguero’s article, during Tuesday’s meeting, the committee voted in favor of boundary change proposals to move 200 students from Arbor View High School to Centennial High School, and to move 277 students from Coronado High School to Green Valley High School. The northwest boundary change would also send 20 students from Indian Springs High School to Centennial High.

The northwest and southeast areas of the valley are growing rapidly, and there are no new high schools set to be built in these areas until 2028. According to members of the Attendance Zone Advisory Committee who were quoted in Peguero’s article, there are many complaints regarding overcrowded classrooms in the Clark County School District, but it is the high schools which are the most overcrowded.

For example, there are currently 728 12th grade students enrolled at Arbor View High, and 625 seniors at Centennial High. How many students were in your graduating class? I did not attend high school in the Las Vegas Valley, but my 12th grade class was considerably smaller.

Lydia Ruiz, one of the members of the committee, has a son who attends school at Arbor View, and she is quoted in Peguero’s article as saying that there are already 24 portable classrooms being utilized at that high school, with no more room to grow.

These proposals will be discussed further on Thursday, January 26th at a meeting of the Clark County School District trustees.

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.

Let’s see how Vegas high schools, public and private, are ranked from 10 to one.
