Moapa Valley High School

Summary:

Moapa Valley High School is a public high school located in Overton, Nevada, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 573 students. The school is part of the Clark County School District, the 7th largest district in Nevada, and has consistently been ranked among the top high schools in the state, with a current ranking of 24th out of 97 Nevada high schools and a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Moapa Valley High School consistently outperforms the state and county averages in various academic assessments, including the EOC Science Exam and ACT scores. In the 2023-2024 school year, 69.2% of 11th-grade students at Moapa Valley High School were proficient or better in ACT English, compared to 46.3% in Clark County and 45.6% in Nevada. Similarly, 36.3% of 11th-grade students at Moapa Valley High School were proficient or better in ACT Mathematics, compared to 19% in Clark County and 19.4% in Nevada. The school's performance in science assessments is also noteworthy, with 25.2% of students across all grades being proficient or better in the EOC Science Exam, compared to 19.6% in Clark County and 20.2% in Nevada.

Moapa Valley High School has a relatively high per-student spending of $13,326 in the 2021-2022 school year, which is above the state and county averages, and maintains a student-teacher ratio of 19.7, which is slightly lower than the state and county averages. The school's strong academic performance, particularly in core subjects like English and Mathematics, is a testament to the quality of education and the dedication of the school's staff and students. However, the school's student population is predominantly white, which is not representative of the racial diversity found in the broader Clark County School District, and the performance of Hispanic students and special education students could be an area for further investigation and targeted interventions.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
