Five Star Schools in Henderson

Henderson is proud to have 33 public schools that earned distinguished 5-star status in 2025, as determined by the Nevada Department of Education’s Nevada School Performance Framework (NSPF). 

“Quality Education is one of our City’s strategic priorities and it is encouraging to see that our efforts to provide financial and programmatic support to Henderson schools are having an impact,” said Mayor Michelle Romero. “Our City Council is so proud of this achievement by our administrators, educators and support professionals which strengthens our commitment to helping our students and teachers succeed.”

Under the NSPF, each public school is issued an annual index score and star rating based on that school’s performance on various measures over the prior school year, including English language arts, science and mathematics. A 5-star rating “Recognizes a superior school that exceeds expectations for all students and subgroups,” according to the NSPF.

30% of all 5-star schools in Clark County are located within Henderson!
