| How Many Public High Schools Are In Las Vegas |
More Schools Than Casinos (Almost)
That's right, according to the fine folks at Niche [niche], there are a whopping 68 public high schools in the Las Vegas area. That's more schools than there are ways to lose your money on the roulette wheel (although with some teenagers' homework habits, it might feel pretty close).
So Many Choices, They All Start to Blur
With this many schools, you might be picturing a Las Vegas version of Hogwarts, where you get sorted into academies based on your magical talent for poker or perfecting the art of the buffet refill. Fear not, there are no Sorting Hats involved (although a good GPA might feel like magic sometimes).
Here's the thing: with so many schools, it's easy to get overwhelmed. Each school has its own personality, strengths, and maybe even a mascot that wouldn't look out of place on the Bellagio fountains (looking at you, Rancho High School's Rams with their bedazzled horns).
Tip: Reread sections you didn’t fully grasp.
Finding Your Perfect Fit: It's Not Just About the Blackjack Tables

Whether you're a budding mathematician aiming for the prestigious STEM Academy at West Career and Technical Academy, or a future thespian ready to shine at Las Vegas Academy, there's a school waiting to help you develop your talents (and hopefully, avoid those late-night slot machine urges).
Here are some things to consider when choosing your Las Vegas public high school:
- Academics: What are your strengths and interests? Does the school have strong programs in those areas?
- Extracurriculars: Do you want to join the debate team, the marching band, or maybe the (unofficial?) competitive eating club?
- Location: How far are you willing to travel? Remember, Vegas traffic can be a beast!
Finding the right school is like finding the perfect buffet deal: you gotta do your research!
