School Swap! See Which Schools Are Affected By CCSD Zoning Change

Author Shawn Tempesta

We told you it could be a possibility in an article last month, and it’s come to fruition. CCSD has approved zoning changes that may affect which school your kid attends. The changes affect everywhere from the far northwest valley to Henderson.

Before you read on, know that if your child already attends one of the affected middle schools or high schools they will get to stay there through their run. This only affects kids that will enter 9th grade or who newly enroll. Elementary students will be reassigned to new schools.

CCSD Elementary Schools

Robert and Sandy Ellis Elementary School – Right now elementary school students in Inspirada (proper) go to Robert and Sandy Ellis Elementary School. That school is getting decently full given the crazy growth. Communities south of Via Inspirada and others will end up having their kids go to Shirley and Bill Wallin Elemntary School. To see the map of the change, click here. 184 students are expected to be affected.

Indian Springs Elementary School – In the far northwest valley (Kyle Canyon Road area), nearly all of the kids in the area go to Indian Springs Elementary School. That is a hike, even for people choosing to live towards Mount Charleston. Now a big swath of those kids will, starting next school year, go to James Bilbray or William and Mary Scherkenbach Elementary Schools, which are much closer to the end of Kyle Canyon Road and not next door to Creech Air Force Base.

CCSD Middle School

Indian Springs Middle School – Once again we find ourselves up towards the far northwest. Nearly all of the homes off Kyle Canyon Road had middle schoolers schlepping several miles north towards Indian Springs Middle School. Beginning next year, new enrollees and kids entering 6th grade will be going to Edmundo “Eddie” Escobedo Sr. Middle School. Still not a quick trip, but definitely shorter.

High Schools

Coronado High School – The boundaries between Coronado High School and Green Valley High School are pretty clear cut, but they will change. Robindale, Green Valley Parkway, Wigwam – between Pecos and Stephanie – is the line. Well, CCSD approved a proposal that brings the southern border to the 215 beltway. It’s a small sliver of space, but it holds a lot of apartments. According to US News and World Report, Coronado has a score of 41 for college readiness, while Green Valley only scores a 26. Not to mention friendships that could be hampered due to the change. Thankfully CCSD says current 9th, 10th and 11th graders can stick with Coronado if they want. This will immediately affect incoming freshmen and new students to the area. Click here to see a map of the changes.

Indian Springs High School and Arbor View High School – Back to the northwest we go and before we start to explain, just look at the maps because it gets confusing. Long story short, Kyle Canyon Road kids will mostly find themselves switching from Indian Springs to Centennial High School. Meanwhile a swath of homes caught south and west of Farm and Hualapai will find themselves swapping from Arbor View High School to Centennial. Click here to see a map of the changes.

The Best Las Vegas High Schools Ranked 2022

One of the most important takeaways from education is that it helps individuals develop critical thinking skills. Personal growth comes from learning which intake helps with gaining more confidence, financial wealth and literary skills.

Nevada is an ever-growing city with a population of just over three million. More people are moving to Las Vegas to give their families a better life. With the American dream in mind, where does education fit into the equation? Education is important to families who want to offer the best for their children and generations to come.

EdWeek.org conducted a comprehensive analysis to find out where states rank in educational opportunities and performance. Their data was configured over three categories which included Chance for Success (January), School Finance (June) and K-12 Achievement (September). The overall grade is the average of the three separate scores.

Nevada finished 50 amongst all 50 states and the District of Columbia. The state scoring earned 68.6 out of 100 possible points. That is the equivalent of a D plus grade average. The country ranked at a C grade average. Find out more about their education research within each category.

Let’s be honest, Nevada does not have a great education system ranking but that does not mean that all Vegas schools are bad. Vegas has the 5 largest school district in the United States with the Los Angeles Unified School District taking first place.

GreatSchools.org is a leading non-profit when it comes to research insights and parenting resources. The non-profit gives an insight on “school quality” based on a rating from one to 10. Top-rated schools are considered 10’s. Ratings between one to four are looked at as below average. Ratings between five to six indicate average. Ratings seven to 10 are considered above average.

Let’s see how Vegas high schools, public and private, are ranked from 10 to one.
