Important: School Data Comes From Independent Sources
All school ratings, boundaries, and performance information on this page is reported third-party data, not Martin Guaglione's own rating, commentary, or opinion of any school. It is provided by independent sources:
Ratings and boundaries change over time, and CCSD school assignments are address-specific. Please verify current information directly at greatschools.org and ccsd.net before making decisions based on any school data on this site.
Southwest Las Vegas schools are part of the Clark County School District (CCSD).
Per CCSD, its boundaries are address-specific: the school assigned to a home depends on the exact property address, and those boundaries can change. The reliable first step for any buyer is to look up a specific address through the CCSD School Finder and check the latest boundary maps on the CCSD website.
Below, each school's rating is reported exactly as published by its third-party source (most ratings come from GreatSchools.org profiles; state and national rankings come from U.S. News & World Report). Zone listings are reported from community and district sources and must always be confirmed per address. Nothing here is a recommendation of any school.

Private & Tuition-Based Options
Families in the Southwest corridor also consider private and tuition-based schools, which set their own admissions, tuition, and curriculum. We list a few commonly discussed options below as a starting point; always check each school's current programs and policies directly with the school.
Faith Lutheran Junior/Senior High School
A private Lutheran school located in the Summerlin area. Admissions, tuition, and program details are set by the school directly.
The Adelson Educational Campus
A private Jewish day school in the Las Vegas area offering secular and religious education. Admissions and policies are set by the school directly.
Pinecrest Academy of Nevada
A public charter network in Nevada, not a private school; admission is through the charter lottery rather than tuition-based enrollment. Multiple campuses serve the Las Vegas area.
Because private and charter schools set their own admission policies and change programs over time, we do not rate or rank them here. Verify current details directly with each school.
Our Commitment to Fair Housing
Halo Las Vegas Living welcomes all buyers and renters regardless of background. Fair Housing is not just the law here, it is how we work: everyone deserves an equal opportunity to find a home. We do not characterize neighborhoods or schools by any demographic factor, and we encourage you to choose the community and schools that fit your family's needs.
Practical Tips for School Research
Verify the zone for your exact address
CCSD boundaries are address-specific and can change from street to street. Use the CCSD School Finder to confirm which schools serve the exact property you are considering.
Check the source, not just the number
GreatSchools.org ratings combine test scores, student progress, and other reported measures, and they are updated independently of this site. Open each school's GreatSchools profile to see the underlying data and how it was collected.
Visit and ask directly
Ratings are a starting point, not the whole picture. Tour the campus when possible, ask the school about current programs and class sizes, and talk to neighbors and parents in the community.
Watch for boundary changes as the area grows
As new construction fills in, CCSD periodically reviews boundaries and can adjust assignments or open new schools. Follow CCSD announcements and the Nevada Department of Education for state-level data updates.
