Canyon Springs High School

Summary:

Canyon Springs High School is a public magnet high school serving 2,719 students in grades 9-12 in North Las Vegas, Nevada. The school is part of the Clark County School District, which is the 7th ranked district out of 13 in Nevada and is rated 3 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

While Canyon Springs High School spends between $8,039 to $9,572 per student, which is higher than the state average, it consistently ranks in the bottom half of Nevada high schools, with a ranking between 83-89 out of 96-97 schools in recent years. Its performance on standardized tests is also significantly lower than the Clark County and Nevada averages across various subjects and grade levels. Additionally, the school has a relatively high student-teacher ratio of 23.6-26.1, which is higher than the nearby schools.

Interestingly, some of the nearby schools, such as Cheyenne High School and Rancho High School, also have high percentages of economically disadvantaged and minority students, but they generally perform better academically than Canyon Springs High School. This suggests that there may be factors beyond just student demographics that contribute to the school's low performance, and that targeted interventions and support could potentially help to improve academic outcomes.

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.
