  1. #1 Best Private K-12 Schools in NevadaThe Meadows SchoolLas Vegas, NV·Private School·PK, K-12·Rating 3.97 out of 5 88 reviewsMiddle school student: As a student who is currently in middle school here, as of writing this, I can explain some misconceptions niche has and how the school is. Overall, I can assure you that academically, this is the best school in Nevada. Now, sports at this school are popular and you have to choose something, as it is mandatory to do a sport or PE, but most kids in PE play sports as its basically just an opportunity to play different sports every day. But, the school obviously isn’t the best for sports in Nevada. Over the years, they have gotten better, especially in soccer, bowling, tennis, and basketball. However, some sports do need some help, but it’s just a matter of getting in new kids who are better. This year, several students have made it into Duke and other well known sports universities, proving it’s improving in that division. Nowhere else in Nevada will you find a school where every year at least 15 students who graduated go to an Ivy League or top25. It’s great and has a wonderful culture....

  6. #6 Best Public Elementary Schools in NevadaDoral Academy Red Rock K-12State-Sponsored Charter Schools, NV·K-12·Rating 4.28 out of 5 32 reviewsJunior: Doral is a good school. During my experience attending this school, I have had access to lots of new opportunities that I would not have had at a standard high school. They offer lots of college and career readiness options as well as ACT prep. One of the best parts of the school is that they allow us to take the ACT for free while also providing us with a free ACT preparatory program. The school is always trying to improve, for example, teachers are constantly giving us surveys on how they can teach better, they invest in subscriptions to programs as help toward our test scores, and teachers are always lenient with their office hours. One of the few things I would criticize are the options of AP and language classes. There is not a very wide variety of AP or language classes. For language specifically, we are only offered Spanish. However, this is very small considering the rest of the school is well run....

  11. #5 Best Private K-12 Schools in NevadaLiberty Baptist AcademyLas Vegas, NV·Private School·K-12·Rating 4.53 out of 5 30 reviewsParent: Liberty Baptist Academy overall has pleasant teachers and staff. The front office is very courteous and knowledgeable. Even though this is private don't expect kids to all be well behaved. The biggest problem myself and it seems others have had is there is not a lot of accountability with brand new teachers. There is not 1 time an admin will sit in with new or veteran teachers. Admin has NO idea how they are doing and not once ask the parents. Just because they go to your church doesn't mean they should be hired. If we are paying for education I expect more. Not everyone is paying. Maybe have a survey after the school year is over because there needs to be more accountability. The principal does overall a good job. We love there is a dress code but when school starts it is hot. There needs to be more flexibility with boys. Boys should not be required to go to recess and PE in khaki pants. Overall quality education but not in the math area- more companies than Abeka...

  17. #26 Best Public Elementary Schools in NevadaPinecrest Academy of Nevada Sloan CanyonState-Sponsored Charter Schools, NV·K-12·Rating 3.69 out of 5 16 reviewsSenior: My experience at Pinecrest Academy of Nevada Sloan Canyon has overall been positive for me. You can tell that the administration really cares about their students and wants the best for their students by listening to any concerns we may have, and making sure we have the best resources and facilities to learn. Also, as an orchestra student, the music program that is offered here is incredible. We have our very own preforming arts center along with tutors who come in every day to help the various instrumentalists and vocalists we have. This school is amazing, but it does have its set backs. A problem that I do have with the school is that if you come from a lower income family like me, you definitely feel discriminated against. This year my music program has decided to make a separate group for students who are poorer and cannot afford to go on music trips which has made me very discouraged. It is my senior year and I am on the fence on whether I should stay or quit the program sadly....

This school has many ups and downs, but as a student, I experience these things first-hand every day. I take part in the National Honors Society and student government. I am very well involved within the school. This school has great academics taught by amazing teachers who care, support, and take care of many of the students here. You can tell the school is very involved with academics, but that makes the sports suffer. We have no baseball field, the gym is dirty, and are lacking in many facilities that we need to be better. The school overall is very focused on teaching the students, but not supporting them in school sports. The teachers care so much about the students here and you can tell the wanna build a relationship with these students.
